Not attempted this before and am finding online assists very hard to come by.

Anyone out there done this before and can point me in the way of some assistance??

Cheers,

Quick & dirty version:

1 - Remove inner knee panels.

2 - Remove gauge panels and the inner panels of the windscreen side "posts."

3 - Belly pan. Do the two bolts on the bottom at the rear first before doing the 4 side screws on each side.

4 - Radiator panel

5 - Left and right lowers

6 - Main fairing body.

There's a lot of screws and bolts and such, so in order to stay organized, I highly recommend keeping the parts for each step organized. To do this, I use Ziploc bags and Post-it notes. After completing each step of the removal process, I put all of the parts for that step/part in a Ziploc bag and then put a note with the sequence number and part name in the bag. This makes it much easier to find the fasteners/parts for a particular part when reassembling the fairing.

If you have enough room it also helps to line up the parts on the floor in the order that you took them off.

I did the radiator hoses and fluid change in one day. In order to keep all the screws in the right place I put them back in with the fairing panel removed. Just enough to hole them in place. I think the whole job took my 4 hours with a lunch break. If it was a long term job I would have used Duck's method.
