Fairing removal on K8

I hope I can describe this a bit better than posts I saw previously regarding fairing removal. For me, the only problem was the small (buttons) at the very front on the bottom. There is one on each side, and for the oil change you only deal with the right side. There are two of the six two-piece larger fasteners just behind this button. The item looks like it comes off, but it does not. When everything else is loose, you just push this small button and pop the front of the fairing loose. The button its self is part of the under-cowling above it. I hope this helps someone - once you see how this fairing comes off I do not think it is any harder than the generation one bike I had. Ride Safe, and wear that gear!
 
When I talked to a mechanic at the dealer they said Suzuki sent them a video to show them the proper way. I think they should have included that with the bike !
