datatool alarms

talking gixers fizz, i had a right problem getting the fairing panels loose when trying to do the oil change yesterday? like a bastward jigsaw! in the end i left them on and struggled getting my hand's through gaps in the fairings to get the filter off? one fairing bolt down by the sidestand rounded off completely

I've never taken mine off, I dont do the servicing on it, I bought 3 year service plan, for the price of a two year, when I bought mine so its been dealer serviced all its life.

I think they'll be glad its run out now as I've done alot more miles than they were expecting me to and they always moan about it when I take it in to get it serviced.

get some wd40 on them fairing bolts lol mind you it didnt do mine much help.

Mine was fairly easy to remove, but it probably isn't the same shape as the 6/750 one. Main thing I found was that the press-in studs were very tight fitting, but once I'd found the little fasteners down at the front (1 for each side) to detach the sides from the lower cowling, the side practically fell off. When it comes to disassembly though, its about 4 or 5 pieces of plastic in your hands.

yea i seen them at the front under the headlight, its just the one bugger that rounded off that stopped me

I'm guessing it's an allen key bolt that rounded off for you Kwak? Same happened with my 750, but on the heatshield on the exhaust. Well, I didn't let it go too far, I stopped because none of the 3 would budge, the heatshield doesn't need to come off anyway so I just left it on. Fairing's a different matter obviously!

I've taken my fairings off to change the exhaust, but didn't really have any problems. But then it's done 2k miles and been in the garage since September so I didn't expect any issues...

But that obviously doesn't work if you want to disconnect things (I assume), so what mode was that/what was I doing?

To fit my lead I just made sure I didn't break the connection - the only thing you need to take off is a screw on top of the terminal, you can keep the loom, etc connected if you are careful!

Transit mode. It just turns the motion sensor off.

Ah, ok. I should read the manual really! I just use it so it doesn't go off when I'm poking about with it, as if I nudge it, it goes off!
