This DIY video shows you how to replace the Air Filter on a 2017 BMW R Nine T Scrambler from start to finish. This will also be relevant to other variants of the Nine T including the Racer, Pure, Urban G/S, and Classic.
This procedure is part of the 12,000 mile service.

1. You'll need just a few tools. A Torx T-30, Torx T-45, and Torx T-25.
Start by putting your bike up on a stand. You can probably get by with using your side stand if you can keep your handlebars straight. I used my stand just in case.
2. Remove Your seat.
3. Next displace the battery leads and the seat mounting bracket. Clip the cable tie and remove the two screws.
4. Remove the seat support brackets on each side. It's secured by two Torx bolts. Remove them completely and set aside.
5. Remove the air intake duct cover. It's secured by two Torx T-25 bolts and a spring clip. You just need to pull out on it to release the cover from the air intake opening.
6. Locate the screw on the basic module holder. Remove the screw securing the module holder and note how the tabs slide into those silver clips.
7. Locate the bolt securing each side of the tank. Remove the bolts on each side.
8. If your keys are in the ignition, remove them now. And you'll need a piece of wood for this next part. I used what I had that was laying around. which was an approximately 8" x 12" piece of plywood. Have that within grasp.
Lift up the front of the tank which is going to pivot on the connection where the module holder was located. Continue lifting and slide your piece of wood under the tank and on top of the ignition switch and handlebars. Let the mounting tabs of the tank rest on the wood.
Just want to add that I'm doing this with an almost empty tank. I waited until my fuel level hit the reserve to minimize the weight of the tank.
9. Over on the right side of the bike, behind the air intake duct is where the air filter is located. Note the clips securing the intake duct and the cable ties securing the wiring loom. You'll need to clip the cable ties in order to remove the air intake duct. The intake duct also has a peg that goes through a grommet on the frame. Just pull the peg out of the grommet.
10. Remove the air filter and carefully fit in a new one.
11. Reinstall the intake duct, secure the clips, push the peg into the grommet, and reinstall cable ties on the wiring loom.
12. Carefully lift the tank, remove the wood piece, and lower the tank back down. Reinstall the bolts securing the tank on each side. 19 Nm or 14 ft-lb of torque here.
13. Reinstall the basic module noting how the tabs slide into the clips. Resecure with the single bolt.
14. Reinstall the air intake duct cover.
15. Next, reinstall the seat brackets on each side of the bike. I didn't really bother with torque specs here. Just tightened down snug.
16. Reconnect the battery leads and the seat mounting bracket. Again, screwed down snug. And remember to reinstall the cable tie.
17. Finally, put the seat back on. If you found this helpful, please give it a like. I'll be performing the rest of the 12,000 mile service and other maintenance videos so please subscribe.
