Another stupid question from me.

I am replacing my windscreen and there are two visible screws holding the windscreen in. Is that all I have to remove to take the windscreen out? Just two screws?

And how come it is so complicated to take off the fairings of these F3's? It's like opening a safe.

thank you so much

 

Not exactly. There are 2 screws that hold black inner (cosmetic) covers to the upper inside of the fairing stay. Then you have the mirror bolts, 2 on each side that have to be removed as well.

As for the getting the fairings off, it's only complicated to someone that hasn't done it a dozen or so times. After that, it becomes second nature .

 

alright I removed the mirrors but I can't get the two inner screws out. I keep turning them but they stay put.

So I decided to take apart the bike. I got every fairing off except for the Nose fairing. How do I take that off? That is the only fairing the owners manual leaves out.

I would love it if you could help!

Do i really have to take off the head fairing to take off the windshield? This is the only thing I have left to do but I cannot get it off. How do I take this off? It seems like I have to take off the whole front fairing.

no you dont have to remove any of the fairings to get the windscreen off. the 2 plastic inside side cosmetic pillar things. then take off the mirrors. then take the screen out

 

how does one take the pillar things off? I know what they are but I tried taking them off but the screws just keep turning round and round . is there a trick? thanks

 

should just be 1/2" screws. yours must be stripped?????????

 

the cosmetic covers are being an ***. I cannot get them off. Please any more tips?

 

Rip them bad boys off and try not to break them. Sounds like the skrews are stripped

 

hahaha you guys are right so i ripped em out

they were stripped....ARGH!
