Fairings are a bitch to get off!

I swear to god I am going to pay someone else to do that next time I flush the coolant. That shit is needlessly complicated and time consuming!



190/55 is overrated. 200/55 is where it is at.

Patience is a virtue my friend! Lots of it plus a hairdryer to warm and soften the plastic (especially the side panel/nose fairing locating lugs) plus some silicone lube spray for re assembly. Like anything else, once you've done it a few times it's routine.

Yep, it's a challenge the first time, took me a few hours to get it all apart. Be patient, take a break if needed, and don't break or scratch any parts. After that it's becomes much simpler.

Realized I forgot to reconnect the turn signals and I was not taking the middle fairings off to actually get to the connections. Did it blind.

As far as motorcycles go, I find this fully faired bike to be quite easy. Expecially after I watched smokin's youtube video on how to do it properly :)

The main thing to remember is know which direction to pull and to pull gently on some of them


breaking the tabs is hard to keep from doing as they are so fragile

First time is the worst. Brock's has an excellent video I watched on YouTube for their exhaust install.it shows you what to watch out for. Watch this video and you will not break anything. This bike comes apart and goes back together in a particular order. It still is time consuming, but not difficult after a few times. At least the ECU is in that tail, not in the air box like the zx10r or the front fairing like the H2!
