Removing Bandit S 600 front fairings

[lasidora]

Hello all,
got my first big bike it's a 03 suzuki bandit 600 that had 42000 miles

the wiring is not up a standard I'd like so I'm trying to sort a few things out like the heated grips that don't work etc and I can't even figure out how to get this damn shell off

any advice or is there already a guide/thread? I tried searching but couldn't find any

you can see a screw missing in this, came out with ease and the other one I can't even get out (already rounded off) me an a friend got the dremil on it and even with a piece of thin metal couldn't get this one to budge (was locked in good an I turned so hard it was warping the metal and eventually my hands was shaking trying) so I can get inside and replace a headlight bulb

You don't need to take off the fairing to change the headlight bulb.

To take them off, though, you need to undo that screw, and the ones holding the side fairings (two on each side and two on the black surround, and one each side near where the fairing meets the screen, from memory) then take the mirrors off (lift the rubber and there's bolts underneath)

Once you've done that, it should just pull apart ( the windscreen might need to flex a bit to get it off the mirror studs)

I still do need to strip it right down anyway the light bulb is not the only problem here

Ah okay.. as long as I was going in the right direction as I have removed all the screws you mentioned, still new myself so just needed to make sure.. I just need to figure a way to get that screw out then as its jammed tight in there, I'll give it another go!

Just remembered, there are some plastic expanding rivets holding the side panels to the 'chin' .... You should be able to pop the cores out with a screwdriver then they'll pull apart.

Why not do what everyone else with a bandit does to remove the fairing and drive it into a tree?

I'd probably order a set of fairing screws now, as no doubt the cheese ones tend to melt and the stubborn ones will get damaged when you eventually persuade them to vacate the vehicle.

Okay we managed to finally get that screw to budge by cutting another fresh slice to now make a cross and with some wd40 and many twists forward and back it finally came loose- it was cross threaded so I'm going to be ordering a whole set of fairing screws only a tenner.. the whole front is now fairing free and lots of useless wiring ripped out looking lots better now.. need to get some oxford heated grips as the ones on the bike didn't work at all so tore them off and its looking very poorly now haha but all is good except it has aftermarket bulb sockets so the bulb I ordered is useless
