Trying to do an oil change and wanted to take off the lower fairing. The bottom right screw closes to the right foot pedal, just spins and spins and wont come off. Has anybody else come across something like this?

 

i never have had problems with that. are you sure if its even in there? if its just spinning maybe you can pull it out.

 

I took my friends drimmel to it and cut off the head of the nut and I can get the lower fairing off. The screw is still in all the way and only spins!!! it still won't come out.

 

weird...

 

there are little rubber expansion bolts on the back of them Since you can get the fearing off now take a pair of vice grips and grab hold of it and unscrew the bolt and put a new one in that way your fearing doesn't move while you riding.

 

Does this fairing bolt mount the lower rear fairing area to the frame?

 

Yes this does bolt the lower rear fairing to the frame.
