Me again!!...and another probably dumb question!

Can anyone tell me how to remove the silver plastic radiator surround..like in the picture. I guess its easy, but dont want to break it trying.

Thanks..STU

Lever off with small screwdriver etc - its just a snap on fit.

Remove regularly to clean rad of leaves mud etc............or don't you have that out there?

Removing it: -

Grab any of the fins as near to the corner as possible and yank it off - it has 2 or 3 small plastic lugs at the top and bottom that fit into the metal ledges of the radiator.

Replacing it: -

Stand the cover in the ledge at the bottom of the radiator and twist the top slightly so that just one corner snaps in to the top ledge. Then push/shove/whack the last corner in - bit of a snug fit so don't be shy

Thanks both...thats allways the trouble..I'm too shy...broken so many bloody plastic bits on road bikes before now, that I dont like shoving things too hard..at least plastic things..!

ANyway...will have a go...I think you're saying the plastic lugs..are probably on the top and bottom of the shrowding right??..

CHeers guys

STU.....PS..will you both buy me a new one if I damage it??

Oops sorry..forgot to answer you hrc!!...

no we dont get any mud and leaves...just dry stufff...and LOADS of dust.

Only time it gets wet/muddy..is typhoon season, when its almost impossible to ride anyway...rest of the time its sunny and dry

Sounds good Stu so when is the typhoon season & how long does it last

are any trials held in China or are they all in HK what bikes are most popular etc

Unfortunately, not much happens here...and when it does its VERY informal..nothing like a comp. in the UK.

Typhoon season is usuall about July and AUgust. THey're just starting to do comps in CHina I believe...some of the riders here have gone and done them...but again...very informal ones...in Hong Kong there are probably only about 8 comps. per year.
