[QUOTE="GMAK, post: 1430185, member: 17060"] Yes, you are correct. Soon after 2009 purchase, I'd done the panel R&R because it was the only way I could see for coolant addition. I didn't break the tab then. I guess I'm just impatient as I get older. But, I'm confused - you say "not to ride with the panel in position....". The bottom of the panel pivots on these two tabs(one, of which I broke). But also contains two Dzus fasteners on top to hold the panel closed/secure. I hope your statement does not mean I can't ride the bike with the two Dzus fasteners securely closed, locking the panel from top? Although I'd read about riding the bike with those heat panels open, I've never done it. So I have to assume - "do not ride the bike with the broken tab on the heat panel, unless the panel is closed and secured". Because otherwise, I'll have to replace the full heat panel to rectify the broken tab. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
