I've always found it way easier to start with the engine on a stand, bolt on the frame, then fit the front forks and wheel. Then the rear swing arm and wheel. That way you don't have to remove anything then refit ❤
lower cover? you mean fairing? you mean the belly pan? Or are you talking about the front cylinder's timing belt cover with the extra air intake at 4:35 ? If so it's purely for ventilation, it might help the belts keep cool and certainly help removes any debris, but seriously doubt it does anything to air-cool the engine considering the cylinders are water cooled. And don't worry about debris getting in, they've got a pretty decent filter at the front. great question BTW, if you notice the slats at the back of the rear cylinder's timing belt cover, that's the exhaust. if you have air going in, you gotta have air going out somewhere
@@flywheelsmotorcycles yeah the timing cover, thanks for the reply it just looks so goofy to me unlike my air cooled hyper where the covers are symmetrical

Glad you liked it!
Why does the lower cover have that extra bit of plastic?
