Working with Gen-III Tupperware

[HaulinAshe]

I perused around and didn't see where there has been any specific discussion about methods for removing/re-installing the Gen-III fairing pieces (aka Tupperware). I also checked with a couple Yamaha dealers who were also freakin clueless (big surprise there). The Owner Manual actually has some tips for removing the battery compartment cover that appear helpful. But I thought it might be worth starting a topic for specific tips anyone has on handling the new tupperware short of getting pissed off and jerking it apart??? After all, it really is that different from Gen-II.

I'll go first... Actually read the Owners Manual for some starting tips.

Jeff, there is an awesome "how to" started by MNFJR, and photos added by mcatrophy.

I will find this post and come back and get a link to it.

Done.

Look at post 15 by mcatrophy and mnfjr. IMO, this shit should be referenced in the owners manual.

Yup. That's where I learned how too. Getting those upper panels on and off takes some practice (and patience).

You mean, that stuff actually comes off, without hitting a deer?

Man Joe, that's cold! :rofl:

Little tip. I find removing the instrument surround is MUCH easier if you stand in front of the bike and grab the horns like boobs.

Oh, and Steve, thanks for starting that other thread!

Must read material for gen3 owners.
