    It's was kinda intimidating at first but it's definitely much easier process after watching how it's done. Seriously saved me a trip to the shop.

    Thanks Wrenchie. You've saved me loadsamoney over the time you've been Youtubing. Thanks and keep it up. I'm still looking out for the best and easiest way to support the front of my bike so I can get the steering head maintained and the forks serviced. I don't have a lift, maybe soon.

      Hi Mike. Thanks for the kind sentiments. I bought that pit bull triple tree lift for fork maint. Works well. I’ll have a few more vids soon.

    Thanks that helps a lot, and of course I broke a tab.

      LOL! Sorry, don't mean to laugh as I also broke a tab or two (or four). I was watching another channel where this guy built up the plastic replacing a broken tab. Not on a fairing but It's applicable. I'll look for that again and give it a try.

    Do you happened to know how to remove the front headlight cover aswell ?

    Excellent and very helpful. My experience: first time to remove and reinstall fairings was a pain and time consuming. Second time much easier but still time consuming especially when you just want to do something like change coolant. One thing I'd like to add, I believe there is a small tab at the very front of the fairings that also needs to be inserted. I missed it on one side and didn't notice until next time I washed bike. Ended up taking fairing off again to reinsert.

    • @Wrenchie

      There is a small tab. Thanks for pointing that out. As you found out, its the same forward sliding motion of the fairing that engages both tabs.

    What about the headlight portion I’m having a hard time getting it back together

    How do you safely remove plastic pieces/fairings when you have no idea how they are connected to each other? You could easily break the tabs or connectors by pulling and yanking on each piece. I have a Kymco AK 550 luxury scooter and want to paint the plastic parts/fairings but I am worried about pulling pieces apart.....and also getting them back together again.....

    I broke the pins that go into the tank grommets! Any recommendation on a good fix? I'm thinking I'll just super glue some plastic clip or something!

    I have this same bike. My brother broke the kickstand off. What should i do?

    • @Wrenchie
      @Wrenchie  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ahhhhh!!!! Did it break the mounting bolt hole that holds the stand on the bike? If so, you'll need to replace this part www.kawasakipartshouse.com/oemparts/a/kaw/56e72ad687a8660e60bbde12/stand-s
      If its just the stand, then a new side stand is required. If the holes where the bracket (above) is broken then your kinda screwed
