Or, take out the bolts Nos. 40 & 41 on diagram & remove rolleyes.gif

I think you will then have to source a new chainguard, unless you want to butcher yer hugger !

There's 2 M6 screws (10mm AF spanner) on the chain guard and the remaining fixings are plastic rivets. Press the centre in then lift out the whole rivet. One is almost hidden at the front of the hugger right next to the shock. Be prepared for loads of oily crap under the chain guard!

What you got planned Cats...

Often wondered if there was a better solution for the back end...wondered whether something akin to the GS hugger type thing (that attaches to the swing-arm but over the back of the tyre) would be a goer??

I just tried removing the hugger but have stopped as I'm now unsure about the plastic rivets. I know you press the centre down, but the centres of mine are a little bit lower than the outside rim part. Do I press them down a lot further than I'm trying? I didn't press far as I'm not sure if I'll knacker them. They just don't to seem to go down at all.

Don't they pull out to release?

Push in to secure I though...?

You just push them in a bit more, surely?

+1.
Push the centre in with a small punch/screwdriver and then pull the outer part.
You don't need balls to ride a big bike.

You'll find a diagram inside the owner's manual which explains it (6-6).

If they are the same as either side under the headlight, the centre is separate and, if one can get a hand or finger behind, the centre will push out which will release the rest - not unlike a wall plug with the screw removed...

Otherwise...?

:)

Yeah, I've done the IAM. And yeah, I recommend it (any so-called 'advanced training' come to that; not just IAM): A low cost training course based on the system used by the police, which is largely common sense once pointed out, making one smoother, quicker and safer. What's not to like? And why would one not want to tell others?  :hide:

Be carefull with those rivets, they are easy to destroy !

Gently push the central pin inside ~2mm then pull the whole rivet with your nails or a knife / flat screwdriver.

 

The side panels rivets and the rear hugger rivets are all the same.

Duely noted...

 

There's two types of these rivet things - I assumed the wrong type :(

 

Glad you've been pointed in the correct direction!

When you've managed to push the central pin of the rivet straight through into the swingarm in true grease monkey fashion. You can replace the whole rivet with a panal rivet from Halfords. Fraction of the price of Yam rivets

SUCCESS!!!.....The pesky thing has relented and is now in the bath having a soak.

 

So, if you are thinking of removing the hugger this is what ya do!

 

1: Push the inner part of the three plastic rivets until they click.

2: Lift the rivet out by using a flathead screwdriver from the OUTSIDE of the rivet not the inside groove part, like yours truly did for 10 mins before realising!

3: Removing the two screws on the left side of the hugger would be really easy if you remove your exhaust first...I didn't...So it took ages and ages, I'm not kidding!

4: Make sure there is nothing attached to the little screw on top of the chain guard (engine end). Remove it if there is.

5: Smile...LOTS!!

 

Seriously chaps, I'm sure to most of you this is a piece of ****, but for someone that ain't mechanically minded is was a grand job...very satisfied with myself :cloud9:  :banana:  :yahoo:  :yeahbaby:

 

BTW, Taking it to the paintshop tomorrow.

Just pulled the hugger off today, what's with that central difficult-to-access front rivet that sits near the shock?  Contender for worst design ever, although I've yet to get the back-end apart so there could be more horrors lurking (yes, I've heard about the seized shock linkage knuckle bush but that can wait till she's off the road next Winter)
