zx12r blinkers

[wolsdad]

HI guys,how do I get at the front blinkers to change them?
How much of the fairing has to come off?

I am assuming the whole stalk not the globe.
Tank cover, ram air covers, engine side covers, and maybe underside of nose cone to do it properly and then its a bit of a squeeze.

There is a quick way that I was shown by a wrecking yard and its rough, carefully pry the rubber out of the fairing whilst maintaining a sideways pressure, remember if they are stock they might still have the steel backing plate and this could damage stuff on the way through.
I normally do it the proper way the first time and when I install them I leave the plate off, this way they are easy to swap next time and wont crack a fairing if they get knocked about.

depending on what model,,,,it's a easy fix ,,,,,00 to 01 behind the front wheel between the fairing and radiator you have the inner fairing,,there should be 4 screws and at the bottom where both fairings join is a 5th screw,,,,undo all and the inner should pop out to give you access to the back of the blinker,,,,,,at the back of the blinker there is a steel plate held in place by 1 screw,,,,,undo the screw and pull out the steel plate,,,,,this will allow you to pull the blinker out ,,,,,push the blinker back in and replace the steel plate and screw ,,,, then replace the inner fairing,,,,,03 to 06 there is no need to undo the 5th screw at where the fairings join as the inner and the center piece are separate ,,,,,,,takes about 20 minutes ,,,,,,cheers paul
