On a side note, this bike is the worst I had for maintenance. I bought a kn filter (thanks to a thread about amazon deal) and had to strip the left side of the bike. It took me 3 hours, including stripping right side looking for the filter and trying to figure out where that extra screw went after putting everything together. It rides great though
Very much a change of topic but.... REALLY!!! I mean, you have to take out multiple bolts to get to the battery???!! When I took off all the side top/mid/bottom fairings, I thought it would never end. I was terrified! And they just HAD to put that damn quick rivet at the TOP of the dashboard so you have to take the WHOLE WINDSHIELD OFF just to remove that ONE rivet so you can take off the upper side fairing! OMG!
And yes.... I ended up with not one, but TWO of those smaller fairing bolt/screws left over. I went through it all again... I STILL cannot figure out where they go- there is nothing missing! So I am holding them for the next disassembly.
Anyway, now that I have done it once, I am positive it will be much easier next time.
