2006 air box lid removal

[Timan]

New member to this site but old rider of many bikes. Just picked up 2006 FZ1 and was checking out overall condition. Almost embarrassed to ask, I can't get the top of the airbox off to check the air filter. I removed all the screws around the edge and the top will not lift off. It feels like something in the middle is holding it. Obviously I'm missing something. Thanks in advance for the answer.

Welcome!

Yep there's a sensor right in the middle and a screw right next to it, remove that and you should be good to go.

I should clarify, there's a screw that holds the sensor in and another next to it for the airbox lid.

Good luck!
