Midlothian, Va. | Got all the bolts out and it's loose but it doesn't want to come up and I don't want to start yanking on stuff. So what's the secret?

Ruskin, Fl | Did you remove the bezel around the speedo? Two bolts under there. |

Ruskin, Fl | CONSOLE
1. Remove the instrument bezel (page 3.19).
2. Open the fuel door by turning key switch fully counterclockwise.
3. Remove (5) console screws using a 4 or 6mm

wire under the right rear console screw for assembly.

San Antonio, TX | Between Step 2 and 3 above.....remove the body work between the seat and the console by pulling it up. This will expose two of the screws that hold the console down.
Here is a video where I remove that part to remove the seat. I pull it at about 1:30 into the video.

Midlothian, Va. | Finally got it off and now I can't get the buttons out so I can put carbon fiber covering on the console. I also couldn't figure out how to get the antenna wire out of the radio and have exposed some of the copper wire. I have a bad feeling about that. My VTX's were so easy to work on but this bike has intimidated me big time. Damn sure rides nice tho. edit.... hooked the radio back up and only static so I've screwed the antenna wire coming out of the radio.<br />

New Bohemia, VA | don't dispare, that's a standard wire from the radio to the plug in right behind the cowl cover up front. I'm sure a little splicing and dicing with a new wire will get you back in bizness... |
