Default First Kawi and Need some advice

Hey whats up everybody. I just bought a new ninja 650. My first Kawasaki and my second bike, unforutantly its already been dropped. So, are the farrings and cowlings easy to replace on these bikes. Or should I take it to the dealer?

No stealership! Fairing are pretty easy to do- just take your time. The only difficult thing to chnage is the tank- due to the fact you have to remove fuel and try not to spill any. If you have a second pair of hands- the tank is much easier.

Welcome and dont worry about the fairings I have had mine off a number of times. Just take them off one side at a time. AND TAKE YOUR TIME.

Oh- make sure you are confortable with your riding skill- then swap the fairings! I remember I tipped my first bike a couple times in dirt- (no damage ) Hahahaha ok,have fun!
