After 16k on my RR8, I would like to take out the air intake plastic and give the inside a clean (including the intake flappers). I am looking for info on how to remove them off the bike and the necessary body panel removal, the do's & don't's I am not good with plasticky stuff and dread breaking lugs on the panels, hence what to do it right and be light handed
Have you downloaded the workshop manual? The plastics can be quite tricky, especially the black plastic retaining clips/studs. The manual tells you the order in which to remove/refit. Have some superglue ready for the velcro bits on the air intakes!
yes I have the PDF as well as honda's paper version. What I an nervous about is what is not in the manual ; things like you just mentioned
