under tank panel/ tank side cover REMOVAL

forgive me if there is a thread regarding this elsewhere; i feel i searched long enough.

i see the 'tank side cover,' as yamaha calls it, is not affixed like the r1's. thus (before i break something), i ask: how does one go about removing these fugly lil' panels?

spanks,

these things just stick on with adhesive, don't they?? FML.

Yeah I believe they're just stuck on with adhesive. Taking them off doesn't get you anywhere though unless you just want to replace them with carbon fiber or something.

They are decorations held with double-sided tape. Are you planning on replacing them? Leaving them off? The only thing behind them is the tank...

i'll be pulling them off and replacing w/ CF

thnx for the help, boys
