I wanted to remove my fairing and decided to take a few pictures as I was doing the job. Hopefully it will help some that are (like me) mechanically challenged.
It took me about 30 minutes to remove the fairing, and as much to put it back.

To do the job, you will need few household tools:
A fresh pack of cigarettes :smokin: :smokin:
A beer
A good movie for the wife and kids :righton: :righton:
2 philips screw drivers. one short and one normal.
10mm wrench
An allen wrench (don't know the size)
and some loctite when puting everything back in place.

So, what was the point? I'd like to see how the front looks w/o the fairing.

The point was that I needed to work on my cracked fairing. For that purpose, I needed to remove it. :smashfrea
The front of the Z750S without the fairing, and the light hanging down is not a pretty site. I did not think it was worth a picture.

Great instructions, thanks.

Best I could find googling.

I just need to move the whole fairing clump forward so I can tidily install a new horn (Steibel Magnum) behind one of the panels - these words and pictures will help heaps.

I'd have mangled that plastic rivet.

Cheers,

Got the job done, but did manage to scrape a little paint off an edge of one fairing. Pulling it all off the subframe was tricky - couldn't find magic angle.

One question: I could see the connectors for the indicators - but how do I undo the headlight wires? (In case I need to take it all right off one day.)

Sorry for the dumb question.

Cheers,

Thanks for your detailed explanation , first time I've had to work on bike and reckon you've saved me a broken fairing ! Pretty simple when you know how .

If you wanted you could save a step, and leave the head light attached. You just have to unplug the connectors, and it will come off with the fairing.

Thanks for the guide (although probably no one will read that since i am 10 years late

).

I bought a technical manual for the Z750(S), but since it is for both the Z750 and the S version and there are not very many S Versions around the world this part was described very poorly.

So once again, thank your very much for this....

Yes, thank you Zwewe. After 4 years of keeping my Z in pristine condition, I had a tip-over at a stop...broke the front brake lever in two, cracked the right side cowling, and broke the turn signal housing.

I know that these were only sold in here in the states for two years, so I was thrilled that I was able to find new OEM parts online - and the fact that the cowling came pre-painted was a huge relief! Anyway, I attempted the removal before I read your guide and got 90% of the way there but I couldn't get to one screw near the headlight. After I read the guide and saw what I needed to do with the headlight housing assembly, it was cake. Now I have the bike looking new again except for some scratches on the plastic mirror housing, the bar end, and the clutch cover. My pride was damaged more than the bike.
