MAIN MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

Removing the fairing

Some servicing operations need the motorcycle fairing to
E
be removed.
Warning
Firmly secure all removed parts when refitting
them, otherwise some of them might suddenly come off
when riding and you may loose control of your
motorcycle.
Important
At reassembly always fit nylon washers when
tightening fastening screws, not to damage painted parts
and Plexiglas headlamp fairing. Some fastening screws
are of the self-tapping type; do not overtighten,
otherwise threading might damage thus avoiding further
use.
Important
On the 748, the body panels are held in place by
special screws instead of quarter-turn fasteners.
