Hi all The clock is ticking down for my first European trip, Spain in just under two weeks and can't wait. In preparation I've change the coolant but failed to put thread lock on the radiator drain plug. I've run it up to temp and no leaks, but not ridden since. Before I fit the fairings, is it worth me draining the system again, using thread lock on the plug/bolt, or can someone put my mind at rest that it doesn't need any? Adding to that, I've been unable to find a torque setting, any ideas? Cheers, Mark.
Its obviously bothering you, so drain down and refill as it will only play on your mind. That said i have never bothered to threadlock mine and i must have drained it half a dozen times.
Coolant changed, reservoir topped up (rubbish sight window!!), news screen and comfort seat fitted, Kriega fitting kit installed, fairings and nosecone back on but, I have this little blighter left. I've checked everything I can remember but with no luck. It looks just like the fixings that hold the fairing on by the rearsets, but they're both in place. Any thoughts anyone?
great game. Front mudguard x4 Theres 3 of these around the underneath of the fan housing. On the skirt that fits to the bottom yolk, there is one of these that fits in the middle behind the horn.
It’s not one of the ones by the cowl around the key slot? I normally took that off to separate the fairing easier.
It has not got a plastic washer with it, so that should eliminate all the bolts that go into painted parts, so logic says it goes into a black plastic part, that type of shouldered bolt holds the rear hugger, chainguard , fairing to rearsets and 3 under the bellypan. 2 to the fan housing and one at the front where the belly pan joins below the rad.
Good spot on the washer. I am missing a belly pan fixing (one of the rear ones) but these differ from the one I have spare. I don't recall removing any of the others but will double check.
