[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1280958, member: 25896"] Although I've not had occasion to remove the rear fender, as AJ noted, the FSM is fond of tacking on extraneous tasks to various procedures. For example: According to the manual official procedure, when one wishes to remove the radiator, one must also remove the throttle bodies. When one wishes to remove the forks, the entire fairing must come off. Best practice is to carefully examine the part(s) you need to remove, and see just what is connected to what, and what bits really need to come apart/off in order to get the job done. In the examples I gave, the radiator can be removed and re-installed quite easily without going anywhere near the throttle bodies, and the forks come off, and go back on, w/o fairing removal BTW, any time I work on the rear areas of the bike, (eg rear wheel removal), I protect the mufflers from inadvertent scuffs or tool drops by sliding the sleeves cut from an old, thick sweat shirt over 'em. I see AJ corrected his amusing spelling errors. They were funny, and AJ is a spoilsport [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/tonguesmiley.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
