BMW F650 Carburetor Installation and Removal (the easy way) by Ard Hospers
I have serviced hundreds of F650's this way without ever puncturing or damaging the rubbers in the proces. It takes more force than you would expect to get them back in.
Best to avoid using this trick on dried-out/cracked inlet manifolds, as they might be damaged further.
If the airbox-carb rubber is deformed, put it in some boiling water for a few minutes. It will regain its original shape.
Check for a full seal around the carb-body afterwards. Spray some brakecleaner around the carbs with the engine running. If the RPM rises, there is a leak.
Look up the "BMW F650 Funduro / ST" group on facebook for more info on these bikes.

If the rubber has become less flexible with age use a heat gun first, because it will be a lot more difficult than this shows.

Ahah if only I saw your comment before trying to remove mine.. I put a lot of effort like 20min at least. I guess the next time I will remember Thanks :)
Dude you rock, I have tried for three days to figure out how to replace a leaking fuel line, I was stumped on how to do this many crazy ideas, whooooh, you save my sanity. Great technique and thanks for sharing.
This is the only possible method. Also my carbs are OUT just now. Thank you VERY much for sharing. And greetings from Italy!
Un tout grand MERCI, la galère pour enlever la boite à air. Dans 30.000km je recommence l'opération avec votre technique. Thank
Thanks Ard. Some good tips there. I found heating the rubbers on the airbox side helps aswell but I did loosen the air box which allowed me to pull the carbs back enough for them to drop and then push in to the inlet rubbers but a pretty tricky job. Would be better if the air box wasn't so big so could be pulled back. I wonder if there's an alternative from another model that could fit. Anyway thanks for the video.
Top tips, dankjewel
Thanks for the video!!!
So does it just hang in the air like that, just being held into the bike essentially by the 4 clams?
Merci beaucoup, une très bonne vidéo.
Thanx
Glijmiddel en een haak: check. Lekker Man!
On the right side, I have two unattached hoses that I don't remember where they go, I believe one of them connects to the gas tank as a breather hose. But not sure about the other? Are there any hoses that connect to the right side of the carb ?

The two hoses lead back to the vacuum canister.
That is does not work for me. Probably because the rubber of the incoming manifolds have become too hard. The easiest way now is to remove the air filter box 😂

Maybe try a heatgun. Or boiling water helps a lot too, but could be difficult to keep it out of the airbox.
