Re: Headlight issues
you have to take the top cowl off to get at the connector. its a simple job. it sounds more difficult that it is.
put some masking tape on the lower edge of the cowl to protect the paint or you WILL scratch in putting in back on the frame brackets.
remove black screws at top of cowl above the mirrors.
remove black screws of inspection triangles of the clock surround plastics.
remove alan head bolts that are below the inspection triangles that connect the clock surround to the cowl.
remove the alan head bolts that connect the lower part of the cowl to the frame brackets.
remove the mirrors.
stand in front of the bike lift the cowl at the mirror brackets and slide forward so the cowl separates from the clocks surround plastics (it sometimes needs a good persuasion).
while sliding the cowl off look from the top inside and you will see a white connector.
reach in with one hand holding the cowl with the other and disconnect the connector.
there is no need to remove the screen.
when putting the cowl back on pay attention to the black plastic tabs on the headlight, these must fit into the big location grommets on the subframe.
the clock surround has tabs to keep certain parts 'locked' in place so pay attention and make sure that they are put back correctly.
the triangles are secured using 'edge nuts' on the cowl and the plastic part must properly engage with the clock surround so take care.
when putting the cowl back on hold it at the bottom and pull the pointy parts that connect to the frame brackets apart, this will stop you scratching the cowl paint, once the pointy parts are over the brackets then move your hands so they are like how you took it off so you can connect the connector. '''DONT FORGET TO CONNECT THE CONNECTOR''' before bolting everything up again.
