[QUOTE="Oakdave, post: 1419261, member: 29079"] This weekend, I replaced the radiator on my gen II. A few points: I did not remove the throttle bodies. I did remove the front wheel, as well as the two side lower cowls/front lower cowl as a unit. I did not disconnect the fans from the radiator until AFTER the radiator was off. I clipped away (and later replaced) some tie-downs that were securing various portions of the electric harness that were otherwise in the way of eventually getting to the hex screw that secures the radiator on the upper right-hand side. I used a large flat-head screwdriver to carefully push apart a couple sections of the harness that were otherwise blocking access to that screw. To assist in attaching the new radiator, after getting the radiator back up into its approximately correct position from a mounting standpoint, I reattached the lower retaining bolt, which helped to better align the holes in the radiator's upper mounting brackets than would otherwise been the case.
