That's pretty easy, just undo your wires and unbolt it. Helps to jack it up and let the swingarm hang down a bit

You dont have to take the fender struts off.
Take the seats off
Take the two bolts through the frame under the seat out
take the four bolts out of the fender struts
raise fender up unplug wires
fender comes out straight up.

My turn for stupid questions. Can this be done with the rear wheel left on? The last time I did it I had taken the wheel off for new rubber and it was on a stand.
