i've removed both seats and the 6 bolts holding the rear fairing pannels in place as well as the 2 screws. i've tried pulling it, sliding it off, resisted snapping the ****ers off. can't get them off. i know it's going to be simple and stupidly obvious but help out please.

I separated also unscrewed the screw holding it in the middle. This is because the panels are held on by a rather strong rubber gromet each side. Start with the left hand side on the bike (as if you are sitting on it so clutch side) pull it away until the gromet lets go. Its about in the middle but it does take a fair bit of effort. Same with the otherside. The whole unit shold still be attached by the black bit at the back and should slide back and lift off.

By the two screws I assume you meant the 2 screws from undertray near the indicators?

when you say two screws what ones do you mean? the ones with the metal clips behind the riders seat and under the riders seat

or

the two screws under the undertray around the indi's cant remember extly bt i know there are some under there.


i might be completely barking up wrong tree mind you. :)

Undo all the bolts/screw you mention. Then GENTLY pull the panels off their grommets. Once it's all free and loose stand at the back and GENTLY pull them apart, at the front, and lift. Once free of the subframe they should just lift/slide off.

There are two small crosshead screws up under the mudguard by the indicators. This is a pic of my mudguard on it's side with the holes highlighted. HTH.

Yeah I've been caught a few times by those. Got a slight crack in the plastics due to it. :smt009
