removal

Looking for advice: I changed my oil and filter a few weeks ago so decided I now needed to change the air filter on my 2013 1200 and despite removing half the bike ( without doubt the craziest and most long winded way to change an air filter in all my 30 years of home servicing) including...

Hi All, I’m new to the site. Bike Battery is flat. Trying to remove it so I can put on trickle charge as I’ve got no garage or anywhere to leave it connected. I’ve undone one seat bolt but the other just keeps spinning and won’t come out and the plastic won’t budge at all! Annoying to say the...

Hello again, i need to remove the tank as the stage of the stripping the rsv mille to have the frame straightened. Can you please tell me if i disconnect the 2 pipes in the picture is this the correct way? The top bolt looks like the main supply and the lower pipe with the white connector...

A bit embarrassing but here goes. should be easy but it's not. I've been thwarted by crash bungs on my gen.2 fairing on more than one occasion. Have found a thin walled and deep socket that is, or appears to be the correct size. It'll go in the hole, reach the bolt head but will not get hold of...

Is anybody able to provide some guidance as to how to remove it? Is it as simple as capping the breather hoses or will I have an error message appear?

I have a 2008 rsv, want to grease the suspension links. The exhaust link pipe does not allow the extraction of front suspension link bolt. Question is it posible to remove the exhaust without undoing a header from the engine? If I have too undo an exhaust at the ex flange which is better front...

Hi everyone, Had a mille since 2002 and decided I wanted to make a race bike out of one for Golden Era in the UK. So bought another 2002 R. All going well so far and bought a set of samco hoses for it, while fitting I was looking at the thermostat and wondering if anyone has ever removed this...

I know I'll probably take heat for this newb simple question, but how do you remove the rear cowl from a 2016 Tuono 1100 Factory? The manual says for rear seat/cowl removal insert and turn key and lift. When I do that nothing happens and there seems to be no "release" of the cowl. Any help will...

Hi there am thinking of putting a carbon fibre tank civer ib but dont know how the original 1 comes off has anybody any ideas on how to remove it cheers in advance

Don't know if this has been written up before, but here's my version. This will help you if you're changing out the whole exhaust system as far as removal of the header pipes go. Once you get your ECU flashed (I had mine done at AF1) the flapper is not in use anymore, which is fine by me. So, I...

I've done a search and I see mention of people cleaning, lubing and 'stretching the spring' inside the switch. Is it possible to carry out this fix and get into only the switch electricals to clean it etc without removing the top yoke and drilling out the anti-tamper bolt? Looking at pictures of...

I'm refitting my engine back to frame and I am wondering what is correct procedure to srew back this bolt (see picture below)? Do I need to srew only middle bolt, or for why is there outside as well? Is there any special tool for it?

Hi, Bought an 02 from a guy on here, he said it was making a weird noise so I thought I'd have a punt on it. Turns out it's the clutch, got down to the clutch housing and two of the three allen screws were loose and came out easy - both sheared off. No problem, I can replace them and crack it...

Hi I have just posted a hello in newbies after joining knowing that I may need help in the future but didn`t realise it would be half hour later !. On the way back from collecting the bike I could smell fuel but didn`t think too much of it as it didn`t seem too strong but I`ve just gone to my...

Hi all, I am trying to remove the rear bobbin but it looks like the threadded bar runs all the way through the gearbox casing to the other side, I can't tell if this is passing through a mount, with it's removal, I really don't want the motor to come smashing through the fairings! I'd love to...

On the inside of the swingarm, Is it fixed by a bolt or a rivet? I just recently got an '01 Mille and the toe guard is hanging off since the paddock stand / crash bobbin was sheared off in a lowside. I can't really remove the wheel for a better look until I fit a new bobbin. Thanks.

Anybody replaced their front and rear wheel bearings ? on a gen 2 . Got my wheels on the bench , removed the cush drive housing and dust seals and circlips on both wheels , the bearings have a spacer tube internally between the inner faces of the bearings . this tube fits up so...

Hello all. My Allen keys are obviously tougher than my magnetic drain plug as I've managed to round off the inner. Is there a solution to get it out that's better than mole grips? Thanks
