I kind of hoped I had taken more pictures of the process, but was too lazy since the beginning was pretty basic stuff: Remove the fairings, remove the fuel tank etc.. I did take some though to document things like fuel line and cooling routes.
Fuel lines go near the clutch between the frame and belt covers. They seemed to get a bit tight when the fuel tank is lifted up. The route seemed to be pretty much the shortest possible with the current hose length so only longer ones would help. Hasn't been that big of an issue however.
Cooling system is a pretty straight forward too but probably doesn't hurt to take a couple pictures of that as well.
The upper cooling line from the radioator goes to vertical cylinder and has a temperature sensor attached.
The lower line goes to a joint, continues to horizontal cylinder head and to water pump. There's also a line from cylinder head to water pump's lower connection and similar one to vertical cylinder.
Not sure which way the coolant flows and didnt put too much worry on it since the workshop manual / LT Snyder book knows If I need to know. All I know is that there's endless flow of coolant even after a careful bleeding of the system when you disconnect the hoses. A drop here and there, mostly on your hands or your clothes :)
