dispersion Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Ok so was cleaning my new 1999 FZS600 and put it off the centre stand and it fell.It hit the ground and broke some fairing by the indicator (cracked) I am not to worried about that my main concern is the indicator got popped inwards.The electronics work but it is not in a stable place. How do i pop it back in?I cant seem to pull it back through the hole it poped out of and dont want to brake the fairing more. Also the screw on the inside part of the indicator is done insnley tight and I cant get the right angle.Suggetions on a postcard please Quote
mealexme Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Not sure what screw you are on about as mine clip on, but can you take the panel off no push the indicator through (so its not connected to the panel anymore) and then disconnect it, put it through the panel the correct way and connect it all up again?Also, if you do need to unscrew it, try (with the correct sized screw driver) tightening it a tiny bit so you hear a sort of cracking noise, which frees it, then undoing it? And using a hell of a lot of WD40? Quote
dispersion Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 wd40 might be good.I took the casinging off where the handles bars are allowing me acess to the indicato from the outside and inside. Problem is its a pop-in indicator and its popped all the way through and cant pop it back out. WD40 might work though I'll give it a try. Anyone else have suggestions will be brilliant as not 100% its the right screw Quote
Tango Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Maybe pull the fairing off and work on it on a table or something. I think trying to do it in situ will make it a lot harder. I had to repair the indicator on my Trophy...and I took the fairing panel off and used Chemical Metal to repair it....worked OK.Gotta say that must have been some vigorous cleaning if you knocked the bike off it's centre stand...

dispersion Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 nah, was on centre stand i was moving it to side stand (finished cleaning it) and it fell the wrong way Spent all daycleaning the back end which acts as a chain gaurd aswell, tempted to get rid of the back end fender though but will have to put a chain gaurd on somewhere. Either way took 2-3 hours to clean all the muck of the underneath of the bike and havnt even taken back wheel off yet EEK! Quote
dispersion Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 sorry for later reply forgot to post on this. Yeh i used a small pliers to unscreen the part which then losens it all to pull it out, out it in the right place and screw it together.not sure what im going to do about the slightly cracked fairing now though. Its had repair before and had a few cracks when I bought but yeh! Just rode 200miles and last 3 miles was rain - typical Quote
