Maintenance 2007 - Day 1

Today was pretty much just disassembly.
I took care to identify missing and/or broken parts (mostly fasteners) as I went.


This is under the left side maintenance cover (to contrast the next photo).

The circle shows the missing truss screw and nut clip after removing the right side maintenance cover.
   

I have some plastic repair to do.
The arc shows the missing tab that should secure the left fairing pocket under that screw.
Underlined are cracks I intend to reinforce from the backside.

The same tab is only half-gone on the right fairing pocket.

Another look at the half-gone tab.

Half-gone tab and missing cover.

Opening the left fair pocket reveals a missing screw.

After removal, it's clear the other screw's nut clip is gone.

What's this.

A freaking sheet metal screw?
Dang, I forgot to check if it has a nut clip.

Both crash bar covers are missing screws.

The finish on this one's peeling.  Almost like someone had painted it and it's failing.
   
       

This missing screw looks like the other on the head, but the other one is pointed like a sheet metal screw.  Ideas?

I broke this tab removing the inner cowl.

Closer look.
 

Damn, those pinch bolts weren't easy.
The insides of the collars don't look so great.
 
       
       

Lotsa grime inside the front fender.

Geez, that one lamp I used sure did get hot.

And there she sits after a day of me tearing her apart.
