Plastic Side Panel Replacement

[MisterB]

Hi all,

On the LH side of my bike there are 2 small black plastic panels on the frame - a bigger one to the front and a smaller one to the rear (where the rear shock is). I bashed the smaller one recently and it's now a little floppy (ie broken!) but I'm unsure how to remove it. It looks like there's a screw that needs undoing from the inside??? Any help would be much appreciated!

Just pull on it, it's simply held by prongs into rubber mounts. Suspect it's not broken but that you've lost a rubber insert (get from the dealers, for pennies, or free if you know them)

Do you do stuff to your bike?

Take out wheels etc

Just have a poke about and see how it comes off

i notice that when I put the bike on the centrestand, my knee sometimes dislodges that small side panel, just pops off & back on again.
