No.
But it makes it a lot easier if you remove the tank

Sorry officer
The voices made me do it

If it's just a filter replacement, undo front tank bolts, loosen rear, pivot tank up and prop with a bit of wood.
Undo the airbox lid screws (you'll need to use a stubby screwdriver, and possibly a magnet on a stick for getting the two front screws out).

Remove old filter, install new filter, reassemble, enjoy.
20 minutes.

Save yourself some spons and make the Honda special tool 0017-TLP-00034 (VTR1000F- Tank lift prop) out of some 1"x1" - 14" long and prop the tank up after removing the two front 8mm mounting bolts and hinging it up on the rear mounting bolt.

As above > two 8mm bolts to remove and a screwdriver to remove IIRC 8 screws to change the airfilter > and you want to pay someone
