Fairings

It takes only 20 minutes to pop off both side fairings. You simply need a 4mm and 5mm allen, a #2 phillips screwdriver, and a flat-bladed screwdriver.

  • First, disconnect the turn signals at the connector.

  • For each side you need to remove the phillips screw on each of the side covers under the seat first and get that cover out of the way.

  • Then, on each side you need to remove two 5mm headed (allen) screws,

five 4mm headed screws,

then two press-in keepers.

The way the press-in keepers work is you push the center in, then pull the whole thing out. To re-install, reset it by pulling the center out, which allows the whole thing to be put back in place. Then just push the center back to flush.
  • Finally, there are 3 pull-out keepers that are what hold both fairings together.

Once that's done you just wiggle the fairings loose from the front cowl and set them aside in a nice safe place (not on the floor).

Gas tank

  • There are two 5mm headed allen bolts holding the front seat to the frame. Remove those, push the seat back, and up and off it comes.
  • Once you've removed the seat you will see the two 10mm headed bolts holding the back of the gas tank down. Remove those, and then you can lift up the tank a little bit, disconnect the fuel gauge wire, and disconnect the vacuum line from the petcock.
  • On the left side of the gas tank, near the front, is the drain hose. Disconnect that.
  • Finally, remove the main fuel line from the left carb. It's much easier removing it there than at the petcock.
  • Off comes the tank. Put it somewhere safe.
