ninja 300 headlight removal

[dee2015]

Hi Guys,

New to the forum. Need some help with regards to removal of fairings and front headlight. Long story short stupid rookie mistake install T10's for city lights and one of them fell into the housing..... now need to remove the headlight to shake it out. Any tips or instructions or help would be greatly appreciated or if someone will do it for a small fee or case of 6 pack will appreciate it.

Thanks, Ed

sticky tack on the end of a wire/coat hanger.

you prob have to pull the nose flaring off to get the light out of the stay, which means the sides need to come out etc.
time consuming job.

Correct. Literally every panel from the seat forward needs to come off the bike to remove the headlight.

Best option is to use a flexible magnetic pick-up tool, like this: http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/flexible-magnetic-pick-up-tool/A-p8053811e

Or a flexible grab tool: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mechanical-pick-up-0586810p.html
