Both sides are the same. Photos here are for the right hand side fairing.

These are the fixings that hold the middle fairing onto the bike.
Note the allen bolt. The shoulder on this is much deeper than the
other bolts that you have laready taken off - this is to cater for
the extra thickness of fairing that this bolt goes through. |

i) Remove the mirror cover. It knocks off and there is a cable tie
arrangement to stop it falling on the floor. Don't trust it. While
you are there, remove the mirror rubbers. Note where the rubber is
attached to the mirror cover and to the fairing. The pointy bit at
the top needs lifting off vertically. Don't pull it - you will snap
off the tang onto which it is impaled. |
|
ii) Dont forget to unbolt the tip-over knock-off covers. The Allen
bolt is underneath. Remove the cover - grab it in both hands and
pinch top and bottom together close to the fairing to pop it away,
and then move it away backwards to release the tab at the front. |

iii) Remove the two cross head screw inside the fairing pocket (these
are the same as the ones we have encountered before - shoulder and flange). |

iv) Remove the same type of screw from behind the mirror housing.
There are three - but you need only remove the bottom two. The mirror
can stay where it is.
When reassembling, make sure that the lugs and pins are lined up
before tightening any of the screws. In the enlarged photo I have circled:
Yellow the hole for the pin on the headlight fairing and a tab to
help locate the top front of the middle fairing. Also the screw which
does not need to be taken off.
Red - a slot for fitting the mirror rubber.
White - the indicator lead (I've had to replace my connector with
something I had at hand).
(Ignore the other lead in the spiral binding)
In particular check the lug under the headlight - see pictures below. |

v) Remove the two small hexagon head bolts from either side of the
fairing behind the tip-over cover. Note the collar - it usually stays
in place in the rubber mounting. |

vi) Make sure that the fairing is not attached anywhere before
removing the final bolt. If you have heated grip control in the left
fairing, lift it out and turn it to slide back through its hole. Make
sure the indicator cable will not snag as the fairing is lifted away
- push it through the hole. Remove the Allen bolt from the top of the
side vent. Don't let the fairing drop on the floor. Manoeuvre it
carefully out of its locating tags around the side of the headlight,
and lift the fairing away.
When reassembling, make sure that you find the indicator cable and
thread it through the correct hole in the fairing. (mine has a
different connector now). The hole with the slot is for the mirror
restraining strap. Ignore the spiral bound wire and yellow phone lead
- thats for a bullet cam that I have mounted in my right hand mirror.
Also - ensure that the temperature sensor wire is still lodged near
the horn so that you can find it during the last stages of putting
the fairing back. You have been warned ! |

Check
the alignment of the join under the headlight before tightening any
screws. There is supposed to be a tab on the middle fairing which
slots behind the bit under the headlight. Mine disappeared the only
time I had it serviced at an approved dealer ! |

The right hand side with fairing removed. Note (circled yellow) the
fixing points for the main fairing bolts. The top fixing point is a
"hole on a stick". The threaded nut is on a shaft which is
screwed into the frame of the bike. This needs to be tight - or
thread locked into the frame.
Note also in green, the connector for the temperature sensor tucked
up with the horn for easy access later. Also, a weird place to find
it, a bleed nipple for bleeding the secondary master cylinder circuit
on front left wheel with rear brake pedal. |
