Hi is the removal of full exhaust as awkward as it looks ie does the radiator need to be moved or are my first observations incorrect if anyone could shine a light on this for me would be grateful Thanks Hughie :beerjug:
 
If it's the same as the F800GS then yes ... did mine without touching the rad, but you need some small sockets etc. Fiddly but possible :thumb
 
cheers:beerjug: Micky thought removing the cover on the fan might help but that wont come out because of exhaust which is what I am trying to remove lol !think a torx ring spanner might help but as you say gonna be fiddly

Ha yes indeed, t'is fiddly for sure. I have a small 1/4" drive socket set, with very fine small ratchet :thumb

Feint heart ... go for it :D

Result :thumb

I certainly wouldn't take it off just to clean it :eek:

Only been off once in its life, to take the Cat out ...

Here it is at 100,000 + miles and eight years of thrashin' :D

Micky was it worth removing the CAT ? and what advantages are noticeable other than less heat ?

Less weight ... but then I could easily match that with a week off the bier :blast

No advantages noticed Chicken ... just a matter of principles, 'cos I could :thumb
