Fairing Removal

[Grumpy Goat]

Hi,

was there a fairing removal how-to at one stage? I think GG had posted one back in 2015.

I'm kinda stuck removing the painted top section on the LHS. I've removed all the obvious torx screws, fuel tank panel, windscreen and can't get the cursed thing off. At this stage I'm starting to think the panel is a stressed component of the chassis and I'll need to drop the engine to remove it

Not so much of a how-to video but a photo of all of the plastic removed and laid out with all of the screws which go where. That photo is on my home computer and I am at work - sorry. 

However, IIRC the panels you are referring to should not be too hard and there may be a push-in fixture that needs to go into a grommet, such that if you are trying to slide only in any direction that fixture would resist movement and the panel would seem to be stuck. Since I last removed side panels on the RS I have changed 3 bikes and removed panels on each so have little more clue to help you with the RS. 

Maybe it is time to officially do a video on panel removal for the RS ...
