here is the answer. take your bike apart! take all covers off, till you see all aluminum. bare naked bike.this takes 20 minutes tops. mine has been apart 20 times or so,you will not hurt it. i know its scary at first,bike cost alot,but once you done it. ripping it apart is second nature..

Actually, on the Gen II I'd recommend looking up the fairing removal threads before taking it apart the first time. There's a few tabs that need a little TLC when removing~!~
After the first time, I'd agree...you're good to go

+1 on fairing removal threads......a couple of the push pins are hard to locate and it sure helps once you know where the projections that plug into the frame grommets are.
Realistically, 6 or seven times and it gets to be easy. Still will take 30 minutes to get one side bare. NO worse than any other sportbike.
Just the sides, tail, tank? You can do it in less than 10 if you know how it works...
I take a little more time with the nose cone...

Did any of you guys steal my hubcaps while i was at Kmart last week? 
dont know what ur talking about10 minutes if i drink my beer first. my fairings are cut so i don't have to take bottom 2 buttons off. i am not running inner plastic either now,mostly drag bike. if you got both sides off nose comes off with 2 screws, mirror block offs,widsheild, one quick disconnect for headlight. takes a minute. even though i can take this down to the frame with my eye closed.
i remember first time taking it apart, i was scared of breaking it.scratching it.i read so many post which made it worse.everyone that never did it, posting how hard it is. lol. once i did it. piece of cake. bike is awesome comes apart so easy,think i messed with or changed everything there is to touch on this bike.
