If your just replacing the motor you can remove the entire assembly whole. It's held in by 6 (10mm) bolts. Then just remove the motor from the assembly once it's out 3 (8mm). Taking the entire windshield assy. apart isn't necessary at all. I just replaced my motor and it took me less than an hour start to finish. Just pulled out the entire assembly then swapped in the new motor and put it back in. Didn't have to touch the cables, arms, pulleys or anything like that.
In your video the 2 popups at the top were already removed...how do you remove them? I can slide them out partially, but I fear breaking them if I keep pulling...thanks!
Gee that looks like a lot of mucking around to fix the windscreen problem 😩. Mate where in Australia do you buy these Bar risers from ? Are they aluminum or an alloy steel ?
my father has the same issue the motor wont move up and down and a service shop in California, USA wanted to charge us $1200 to get it repaired so ,to save money might as well do it yourself.
Can’t thank you enough for this video. I just bought a pristine ‘09 that has this issue. Hoping I can do this repair myself…
great info my man I can see your no rookie, thank you for helping everyone. :)

Nice job, great stories...i need to clean & lube mine
Just finished mine. You don’t have to remove the arms or detach the cables. Thanks
You should retitle your video. Found it by accident. Thanks
I would of replaced the motor anyways and kept the original motor as a spare. Pretty sure the original is near its life expectancy
i cackled when the old motor fired up
It sounds good with no muffler
@@ShaunNielsen it does but it loses all its power :(

This was a customer bike - i dont know where the accessories came from. They are steel though.

Its not a difficult job. Give it a try and take your time. Take lots of pictures and you can always refer back to them during reassembly.
@@ShaunNielsen where to buy the motor.
How much did the new windscreen motor and components cost ?
Sorry- i did this job many years ago, i dont have records on the prices.
@@ShaunNielsen . Thanks mate understood. Cheers 🍻
