I just received my service manual (WOW--$100+) so I started experimenting with removing fairings and discovering where things are located. I was a bit disappointed in the service manual with regard to front and rear wheel removal. I have done enough of that thing to understand the a few of the detail steps I believe are left out. For example with the front wheel removal. My manual has three steps. Basically, (1) put bike on center stand; (2) remove front brake calipers; and (3) elevate front wheel. OK, what about lossening the pinch bolts, the axle bolt and then evevating so the wheel can be removed?
Enough of my soap box. But that's what I did today--remove plastic, the rear seat and additional carrier, reinstall same and other service manual investigations.
