Read the shop manual BEFORE you start work on your bike. You find out where all the bolts are before you touch the bike......but like you said...who cares ..its only $40

I'll look through the service manual I am pretty sure it actually said to remove the inner fairings / panels though. I'll check again


Yup, specifically says to remove the inner panels.

I meant use google.
The service manual is very good, but there are a few tricks you can learn from the forums.

Here's a great writeup! Great job Fz6Sa :thumbup:

Note that I never bothered to clamp the drain tubes.....

That writeup should be stickied so it doesn't happen to anyone else again.....
