Working with Gen-III Tupperware

[HaulinAshe]

I perused around and didn't see where there has been any specific discussion about methods for removing/re-installing the Gen-III fairing pieces (aka Tupperware). I also checked with a couple Yamaha dealers who were also freakin clueless (big surprise there). The Owner Manual actually has some tips for removing the battery compartment cover that appear helpful. But I thought it might be worth starting a topic for specific tips anyone has on handling the new tupperware short of getting pissed off and jerking it apart??? After all, it really is that different from Gen-II.

I'll go first... Actually read the Owners Manual for some starting tips.

Jeff, there is an awesome "how to" started by MNFJR, and photos added by mcatrophy.

I will find this post and come back and get a link to it.

Done.

Look at post 15 by mcatrophy and mnfjr. IMO, this **** should be referenced in the owners manual.

Yup. That's where I learned how too. Getting those upper panels on and off takes some practice (and patience).

You mean, that stuff actually comes off, without hitting a deer?

Man Joe, that's cold! :rofl:

Little tip. I find removing the instrument surround is MUCH easier if you stand in front of the bike and grab the horns like ****s.

Oh, and Steve, thanks for starting that other thread!

Must read material for gen3 owners.
