    Installed some security cameras this afternoon, fitted the seat cowl to the blade this morning, this evening I’m either changing exhaust or fitting radiator guard and a few other bits, what do you think I should fit?

    Loosen clamp where it attaches to headers, remove bolt where it attaches to rear sets. Depending what year unplug o2 sensor. Remove cable from exhaust valve servo. Take note of servo motor position as this has to be in the same position after removing cable. Wiggle the exhaust off.

    I must confess I didn’t do either yesterday, went into the garage and decided I couldn’t be bothered lol. Will try again tonight maybe?

    did deduce that my battery is buggered even after being on an optimate for 2+1/2 months so may pop to Halfords and pick up a new one today

    I am, but I’m lazy jimmy, so lazy to actually get on and do it. Also if I don’t get it on in one sitting I’ll stress about it being in bits even though the bike won’t be going anywhere for a couple of months lol

    You can do the zorst in <30 mins :) if I can do it, you'll be fine! I've still not fitted the braided brake lines I've had laying around for nearly a year now...

    With the servo cable, do I remove it completely - like from the bike or just disconnect it? Also with the o2 sensor - what do I do with that? I’m assuming I need to take the gear side lower fairing off? Or move it to gain access to the bolts?

    Yeah remove the cable from the servo, its attached to the original pipe. Comes away with it. And yeah just the one bolt at the rear of the lower fairing to move it out of the way a bit. You should have a blanker for the O2 plug for a 2011, although cant help with that one as I didn't have it on a 2016, or need to remove it

    Remove the o2 sensor from original exhaust and put it in the new one.
