R1200RS 2016 Fairing removal

[grant90]

Does anyone have a link to a video or manual pages for the fairing removal ? I don't yet have a manual - and the bike i recently purchased has a broken left "ear" that is the metal part that holds up the movable screen...i can box ahead a do it, but a video or pages of the manual will assist greatly. It wasn't readily noticed it was broken, not until the screen was put into the UP position. Has anyone else had this happen and it it able to be welded ( not sure if its cast or good alloy) - the dealer has ordered a new part but its weeks away.

You might go to the website rswasserboxer.com and ask your question. This site covers only the RS model, whereas the BMWSportTouring site is more into the GS and RT models. I have a 16 RS and have had several panels off and never used a manual, just took my time as I removed the fairing screws.

Yeah, you don't really need a manual for that at all. But at least the first time, just label everything, until you get used to which length screws go where. But the majority are the same. Good luck.

I have these images which I use to replace air filter on my dad's RS 2015 model, which may help you.
