Hi Guys, im new to the 2013 zx14r, I upgraded, but still have my zx9r.
Can someone point me to a youtube clip or something to show me how to safely remove my fairing ?
Thank you

Brock's video helped me plenty. Just don't force anything. Go gently. Don't over tighten when you put panels back. Especially where the tank cover fastens above the grills on the back end just below the tank. Those screws are in a rubber "grommet" that is in the wall of the frame/air box. They are easily damaged if you tighten it too much and will pull out.

Life begins at 40.......The fun starts at 240.

ROOK has a good tutorial about bodywork removal in this site. I believe it is a sticky even.

..unfortunately, it only covers the Gen1 fairings. I'd love to do a 14r fairing tutorial but one of you will have to donate your 14r to ME first!

Well I've had my plastics off quite a bit between the 2 Zx14's I have had 2012 and 2013. should do a write up next time I take them off. here is what I do. You can follow above videos but there is some extra steps that don't need to be done. The left and right side top and lower can be removed as one piece. Gen2 only..

1. Remove foremen grills,
2. remove ram air covers.
3. Remove tank cover.
3. The Left and right side top and lowers can removed as on piece. To do this remove all push tabs under front nose
section, remove screw on top side under the ram air tubes, remove, tank cover plastic, remove push tab in center of front lower, remove all bolts on bottom lowers. Unplug signal lights, remove left side as one piece, remove right side top and lower as one piece. when I get time i'll post pictures.
