Thanks..STU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc1 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 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??

stuessenhigh Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 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.
