I changed the air filter on my ST1300 yesterday and found mice bedding in it. The guys on the ST forum are telling me to disassemble the airbox and remove the throttle bodies because the nest is most likely tucked between the valve covers and under the throttle bodies, nestled in the V of the engine (it is a V4 engine). The ST gives no visibility to its innards. I’m starting to tear into to this project this weekend and hopefully damage to wire harness and hoses are a minimum.
The NC gives good visibility around the engine, battery box, under the seat. The only place I can’t see is in the airbox. I guess I’ll open that this weekend and inspect for mice.
Question for the NC group... Is there anyplace else I should be looking for mice on the NC? I’m don’t want to open it up twice. I’m doubly sure I don’t want to get stranded somewhere because I missed a chewed-on wire harness.
