Magnum Front Nose Removal

[rapidjim]

Well, here it is my first attempt at writing a section for a service manual. Tell me what you all think.

Removal of Nose Piece

To gain access to the radiator and fill bottle the nose piece must be removed. Remove the plastic screws holding the windshield in place. Place the windshield out of the way on a clean soft towel so that it does not become scratched or broken.
To remove the “V” shaped nose piece, remove the two screws underneath where the seams are.

Move the front wheel to either the extreme left or right. Looking up from underneath (above the front fender. Locate the plastic nipple molded to the nose piece and pushed through a rubber grommet.

Using a large flat bladed screwdriver, place it between the plastic nipple and the rubber grommet and carefully move the screwdriver back and forth to move the nipple out of the grommet. Once this is freed, the “V” nose piece can be removed by sliding it down to release the upper plastic clips and lifted off the front end.

Removal of the Windshield Support Covering

After removing the nose piece, remove the 6 screws holding the windshield support covering and lift covering off.

The coolant fill bottle is right behind the right headlight assembly. The radiator cap is in between the headlights.

You write well. without having one in front of me i have nothing to ad, except, what a pain to fill your coolant.

Might be nice to have a close up of the fill.

Thanks Rebel.

I was thinking about that close up but didn't get it done before I buttoned it back up. I have another Magnum I might take the nose off and do just that.

You think this is a pain to check the coolant on, try a Yamaha M/C, half the bike has to come down.
