    HI all,

    I am planning on giving the bike a bit of TLC on the weekend along with an oil/filter change on the weekend, along with ACF50 coating on the engine ready for the winter.
    My previous blade fairing were easy to remove, However i have tackled the new blade fairings yet....

    Has anyone tackled their 2020-2022 fairings yet? if so are there any tips you can share?

    As there is nothing on Youtube :(

    TIA

    The new style fairing clips are better to use than the old style ones that had a crosshead screw fitting. I bought a pdf version of the service manual which helps quite a bit although isn't as good as a video. I've only taken the under cowl off so far. PM me if you're interested in a copy of the manual.

    I took the side fairing panels off my triple R to fit a radiator guard. It was a right pain in the arse and I did manage to break one of the hidden internal clips. Aradite came to the rescue here.
    It's getting on for a year ago and unfortunately I can't remember how I did it. I seem to remember the upper side panel sliding forward.

    Well I only removed the belly pan as I needed to do an oil and filter change. I will tackle the rest of the fairing after my trip to Portimao at the end of the month
