Real time, Honda vfr 1200 fairing removal, see links in description.

[@andyrawlings5369]

Hi graham just watched all the clips on fairing removal not had mine all off yet but today fitted a r&g rad cover so had the front piece above the exhaust removed the 4 allen screw bolts then the 2 bottom pin rivets out you leave the section in then slide the rad cover back in re build back up took me about 20 mins to do . Like you say fairing held on with clips they seam quite well made the other week had the right hand panal off below the seat thats the same 2. Rad cover is well made it was a xmas gift from my daughter worth getting one will get some crash bungs at a later date there some you can get with out drilling the fairing good vid clip graham on how to remove fairing thanks Andy.

[@Grahamvfr]

Thanks for the rad cover info. Yea I probably would look for crash bungs that didn't need the fairing drilling if I was fitting them, although as I've said, I like the look of them.

[@Jeremy_teamyoshi]

Thank you for posting this video. I absolutely love my vfr, just as much as I like saving money and doing my own work. This is immensely helpful. Cheers

[@Grahamvfr]

That's good to hear, just putting them back on (tricky), so will be posting a vid, with a few tips . Thanks for watching.

[@alanjfinn]

You're very welcome 👍

[@johnelliot4845]

Thanks for the video Graham, this will help me a lot when i fit satnav harness.

[@Grahamvfr]

Tank lift video, coming shortly.

[@Delfimoura]

Thanks for your videos! Would you mind to do one about windshield removal? Thanks again. Cheers

[@Grahamvfr]

That's good that they help, unfortunately I only do things I need to, as I hate plastic clips and panels haha, potential for snapping. However I have this on my favourites if that helps. (SEE LINK) Thanks again for you support. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKXFpJ-CYsSLapY

[@Delfimoura]

@@Grahamvfr Thanks!!!

[@iainhamilton6773]

I have an issue with my inner cowling, so I watched your video. When you take out the plastic stopper at the top of the inner fairing it should be SCREW, SPECIAL, 5X11 (90114MGE000) attached on the inside by NUT, CLIP, 5MM(90312MT3000). It appear that it is common to use the quick method of the plastic clips CLIP, PANEL FIXING *NH1*(91549MW0790ZA). Thanks to your video I can see how easy and careful I have to be so I will be ordering the Special Screws and 5mm Nut clips to properly secure my fairing.

[@Grahamvfr]

Thank you for that useful input Iain, hope you get it sorted. Thanks for watching.

[@stornu2ruedas180]

Thanks!! Thanks!! Thanks!!

[@Grahamvfr]

😊👍

[@claudioseccia9380]

Greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[@Grahamvfr]

No problem 👍

[@JIMWSMITH]

Thanks for that Graham. Is it now tank up for air filter replacement ?

[@Grahamvfr]

Yea just waiting for filter to arrive. Thanks.

[@madaboutcarsandwatches2784]

Hi grayham, Do you have to take all these off if you just want to do the air filter?

[@Grahamvfr]

Well I've looked at every way possible not to have to remove fairings, but it seems there is no other way. it's a bit of a pain, and no surprise that my first air filter I removed was unbelievably filthy. 😒

[@warwickwearing5042]

Uber useful video! Cheers

[@Grahamvfr]

Thanks.

[@capitanscott]

Hi Graham, I got a loose part on mine, and I am missing the clip. In 6:34 you unclip the tank cover lower part, what kind of clip does it have there? is it a 90666SDAA01?? Thanks in advance

[@Grahamvfr]

I'm sorry I don't know that number... Mines loose on rh side as the boss (probably wrong word) won't quite reach the fixed housing. I'll come back to you with a better explanation.

[@Grahamvfr]

Yea I typed that into Google it looks the same, and fits into a letterbox type housing. For some reason on my rh side it just won't quite reach to get enough purchase, perhaps mines rounded off.

[@mariooliveira4685]

Thanks, nice video 👍

[@Grahamvfr]

Thank you, I'll be posting the air filter change, very soon

[@needbettername8583]

Thanks for this bud, Worlds most annoying fairing! I'm only trying to service the bloody thing and you practically have to take all the fairing off to get the tank off! What a pain in the ass

[@Grahamvfr]

Yes I know it's a pain...but I've done it 3 times now and less as annoyed each time haha. I guess having a nicely sculpted fairing has it's drawbacks.

[@needbettername8583]

@Grahamvfr Yeah, I've been working on bikes for years and I swear you used to be able to lift a tank without u dressing the whole bike. 😂 especially seeing as its one single bolt hidden behind the side fairings.

[@Grahamvfr]

@@needbettername8583 Did you see my recent tongue in cheek video showing how easy it is on my old kz750 . kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYTdZpqll9SWb8Usi=siXSGzYdayTUNTxs

[@needbettername8583]

@Grahamvfr I'll give it a watch, I used to be able to get my gsxr 600 track bike to a frame in 1 hour 😆 times have changed, currently trying to work out how to get to the front two spark plugs without taking everything out.

[@Grahamvfr]

@@needbettername8583 ooh good luck with that I chickened out ( long story) will do this winter.

[@mrmrslee7800]

The rad on my vfr needs replacing dealer is expensive has any one taken off the panels themselves and replaced with a Chinese radiator ? Advice would be appreciated !

[@Grahamvfr]

I'm afraid I have no experience of pattern radiators, but feel free to post this question on any /all of my videos.

[@alanlong1971]

When you slide em forward your sure you've broke something, had em of once even harder to get back.

[@Grahamvfr]

Oh yea it's an awful sound. I'm getting a bit better putting them on as I'm taking more time to line up the inner flutes (slots) at front of inner fairing.

[@Grahamvfr]

4.56, I mention the bolt being loose. On further inspection, the cowl was cracked /damaged, from previous owner drop. 😏

[@andyrawlings5369]

will it fibre glass back together once built up you will not c it another good thing for repairs is bumper repair its very strong .

[@Grahamvfr]

@@andyrawlings5369 Thanks for bumper repair tip. Looks like it will be fine as it's hidden, there is enough purchase on the bolt to hold it, phew.

[@umbertogulmini5458]

Buongiorno hai delle foto dove è posizionato sensore temperatura esterna ?

[@Grahamvfr]

Sorry for delay, i missed your comment, I'm sorry I don't know where it is. Wasn't clear in the manual.
