See Figure 1. The fairing lower vent door can be adjusted to direct airflow for rider comfort and circulate air across the engine. Slide the vent door lever to adjust or close the vent door.

See Figure 1. Air-cooled models have fairing lowers with a storage compartment. Remove any valuable items from the storage compartment before leaving the motorcycle unattended.

Open: Push and release the indented tab at the top of the compartment door. Pull down the top of the door to open.

Close: Push the compartment door shut until it latches. Check that all compartment doors are secure before riding.

Reset: If the latch sticks or does not catch properly, firmly press the door to close. Open and close the door again to engage the latch mechanism.

Fairing lowers can be removed in warmer ambient temperature to increase rider and passenger comfort. Fairing lowers with speakers require the speakers to be removed and harnesses be disconnected. See the service manual to remove fairing lowers on air-cooled vehicles.

See Figure 2. On Twin-Cooled vehicles, the fairing lowers include cooling system components. The coolant bottle is behind the access panel in the right side fairing lower. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Cooling System to check the coolant level.

The access panel is secured with three retainers. Carefully pry at the top and at each lower corner to remove the access panel. To install, push the panel until the retainers snap into place.

Keep the radiator screen and outlet duct clean and free from obstructions.
