This is something I'm going to come up against as an SS owner now.

When I had an SS before, it was half-faired, so I didn't need to remove any plastic to change the oil.

Now I need to do an oil change, so I suppose I'll have to take the whole RHS fairing off? Is that the way to go, or is it feasible to separate the fairing and just remove the lower?

I would have thought that at least the 4 (!) fasteners underneath could be converted to Dzus à la 748/916. Has anyone done this?

The handbook says you can remove the whole lot without undoing the bottom 4 by sliding it under the bike.
But I'd imagine this would be a two-man job, cos you'd have to be very careful that you didn't scratch the paintwork on the floor manoeuvering it around.


I'm talking about an injected bike, BTW, with the "new" shape fairing.

On a brighter note, it feels much happier with a 14t front sprocket, and the suspension is much better now Louigi hasd fettled it for me.
