Take your time and be careful. I've already broken two tabs on mine. You would never know unless I showed you which ones but it sucks breaking a brand new bike.
I study parts fische and watch You Tube videos before I pull apart. Helps some but I also broke the trim tab on my fairing pulling the right pocket off.
Go slowly as mentioned.
Also pay attention to the grommets and bumpers too, they seem to disappear.

For fairing/dash pieces, I use ~nylon~(?) trim tools from Harbor Freight:

(Not the exact set I have, but you get the picture)
Thank you, will purchase a set.Originally Posted by Scotrod
I've pulled off quite a bit of the bodywork, including the back deck with only my hands and I wear latex gloves, and take off bracelets, watches and rings and use a small ratchet screwdriver for set screws and small bolts. A magnetic wand can be your best friend if you do happen to drop a set screw into the body.
Be gentle, don't rush and you'll be fine.
Before reinstalling bodywork some here recommend chap-stick [or facsimile] on the rubber grommets, I've used a touch of petroleum jelly.

Just in case it might help someone in the future I took a pic of the front and back of the left side battery/cover. I highlighted the tabs on the backside and highlighted the estimated places were the tabs would be on the front. Hope it helps someone. bobbyf6b, I didn't break any.
Spray silicone by WD 40 works great on grommets. Pieces go back on easily.
