FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the lower fairings from both sides of the bike. To do this, remove the row of fairing bolts on either side
which attach the lower to the upper fairing, along with the fairing bolts at the rear by the swingarm pivot, the
three bolts underneath the bike and the two bolts which are accessible on the inside cowling surrounding the
lower radiator, as shown in picture 1.
On the right side of the bike, the upper fairing also needs to be removed. Remove the five fairings bolts along
with the push rivet on the inner cowling (on the 1299 '15- &
2.5mm button head bolt) before gently pulling the fairing out of its locating tabs, as shown in picture 2.

permanently removed from the bike.
Remove the two bolts that secure the cover to the engine case, as arrowed in picture 4.

box to be gently pulled clear of the bike, as arrowed in picture 8 & 9.

The plastic cover can now be removed from the bike as shown in picture 15 but is a little tricky. Both mounts

guides which need to be freed from their hoses. Once clear of the studs, gently pull downwards and twist out
from the rear, as shown in picture 15. There is a metal insert in the lower mount of the plastic cover, be careful
to avoid this contacting and marking the engine case during removal.
With the plastic cover removed, the mounting bracket is clearly visible, as shown in pictures 16 & 17.
Remove the two engine case bolts that secure this in place and remove the bracket.
Re-fit the two engine case bolts without the bracket and re-torque the bolts to the manufactures specified
amount.
