Looks like the photos have gone walkies again

Let's see if the forum itself can manage not to lose them...

Thanks for updating the pics. I couldnt fit my scottoiler today because I couldnt figure out how to remove the fairings. Much appreciated!

I'm in the process of fitting some Powerbronze crash bobbins to my new 2019 Z1000sx. Does anyone know the correct torque figures for the engine mounting bolts?
I've seen the torque figures that have been posted for a 2011 bike, but are the latest bikes the same?

Isn't exactly what you need but has the most common settings, I'm not near my manual for a wgilse so can't get the exact figures

Neither could I.  The forward bolt holes on both sides which the R&G blocks use are completely open to the elements on the rear face.  Aluminium engine block + steel bolts + road crap = seized bolts.  Managed to ease right one out but left snapped  . A few hours with a very nice mechanic and bolt drilled out but basically take care - nearly trashed my engine to fit the R&G bungs.  This issue will likely affect anyone with a bike that's spent a few years on the road

And yes, I should have stepped away as soon as the bolt wouldn't budge
