Hi, I want to take my screen right off for a bit of a clean but just can't get the thing off. There's two screws either sides which I've unscrewed but I reckon there is another one at the base of the screen in the centre that can't be seen. Anyone have a clue as to how to get to this one? Cheers ftw

I have asked someone about this before and i think, and i swear they said it simply just screws off, maybe it isn't so simple. Maybe your right, there is a hidden screw, good luck with that

Im sure theres 4 screws - 2 on each side of the triangle bit?

 

[oliver.penn]

Hmm, maybe, I've loosened everything around it and it just won't budge. Some aftermarket screens looks like they have a hole at the base so it would make sense to look for another screw fixing. I don't want to force it though...

Hey Numpty, when you say 4 screws, do you mean the four I have removed, 2 from each side of the screen, the triangle bit covers the base of the screen so if I could remove that...

 

[numpty]

I've never really looked but I'd imagine it would just slide upwards and out. I just had a quick look in the manual and I couldnt see anything. Are there any instructions with your new screen?

2 either side then 1 under that triangle bit

 

[oliver.penn]

That's what I thought. I guess my next question is how the hell do I get that triangle bit off? It's like under everything else!

Theres 4 at the top that you can see, then theres one at the bottom, you have to take the clocks off to get at it. Its a pretty fiddly screw to get at and try to use a magnatised screwdriver if you have one as the screw can be hard to get out after its unscrewed. Then its still pretty hard to get the screen off and you have to sort of shake it about a bit.

ROFL

As far as I know you gotta take the clocks off to get to the lower bolt.

I changed my screen recently and it was a b*tch to get off. Needed to take the dials off. Take the dials off then disconnect the speedo then you have enough room to put ur hand in a undo the last screw

Probably far easier to take the top fairing off.

mm i dont think so, taking the dials of is rlly easy. jst have to undo to screw and to bolts and thats it and then disconnect the speedo. took me a while to work it out cos im new to bikes but its easy when you no what to do

 

[karloscinquentos]

why do people think taking clocks off is a big job infill panels off 2 bolts and jobs a good un

Right, I got the screen on, everything done up and now my speedo don't work! When I took off the clocks I unscrewed the speedo and removed the wire so the two were totally separate, then I just stuck the wire in the hole and did up the bolt, am I doing anything wrong?

Cheers...

Just make sure its tightened up as if its not tightened the flat bits wont go into the slots! How did you eventually get the screen off after you got all teh screws out? Oh and are your lights on the clocks still working(neutral light etc) as it could be due to a cable coming lose and the clocks not getting power thats what happened to me.
