Screwed

[jthornton]

Well I finally got my RT back together after the air-boxectomy and resinatorectomy and I have some screws and push things left over!



I think the shiny bolt held the resonator on but I'm lost as to where the rest went... I don't feel like taking it apart to find out where they might go... I should have one with a big washer left over because one of the panel nuts broke... but I don't have that one.

Your're not screwed. You're unscrewed. :roflblack: I hope you don't figure out where the screws and pins go by having a panel fly off as you're gong down the road.

 

[jScotD]

just wait to see what falls off when you ride down the road.. then you will know :shocked:

 

[Bob Denman]

If you want to find out where they belong; run the bike up to about 100 mph...
It'll tell you!! :yikes:

There are some push things that go vertical.
The first time I left them out too.

Where about are the vertical push things? Any one that knows me knows that I'll take the Blue Spyder apart and find out where they are missing for sure.

Well..!!

Never having worked on an RT I am not sure. Outside of the shinny one they all look like they came from panels. Though the torx could also be from the throttle body oem...you will find out..!! :roflblack:

Nice answers roflmao

Extra parts

No problem! Looks like two choices:
Take everything back apart, piece by piece, meticulously checking and re-checking every part, (my technique), until you find where they go; or,
Embrace denial, put the parts in the bottom of your underwear drawer for safekeeping!

My husband has a diagram of the Spyder and the panels on a big piece of cardboard to keep this from happening. It works quite well for him as he has two RTs to maintain. You may want to consider that for any other "remodels" you do.

Here is my cardboard map. You can't see the pencil outline very well, but it is there. I also note any special bolts and plastic rivet at the hole on the board and I draw new sections as needed like for the windshield, console and other sub-sections. This shot is from when I pulled her Spyder apart to pull the handlebars to get powder coated and to put in JT's air filter.

Sorry, that's funny.

You beat me to it! :yikes:

The one screw with a washer probably is a panel screw and is behind the mirror. There are 3 of those and I sometimes forget one too!

That's a dang good idea there. I'm usually OK if I take it apart then put it right back but sometimes have problems if I leave it apart for a while and things get kicked around a bit.

If you have left overs it just means you are better than the factory as you did not need to use so many parts to get the job done. :roflblack:

:agree: Eventually; you'll enough parts left over, to build an entirely new bike!

Thant's my plan and I'am sticking to it :lecturef_smilie:

I found out where two of the push pins go... and sorted out the mixed up screw.



Just one more push pin to figure out!
