I'm Jun. I live in Japan.
First of all, this sentence is translated into English by google translation, so it may be a little strange.

Well, I got a tesi-3d LE last July.
The wiring is a mess, so I'm arranging it.
The question is how to remove the front cowl from the main body.
The front of the cowl is quite narrow, so it won't come off due to the lights and stays.
Anyone know how to remove it?

thank you.

Hello Jun, welcome to the forum. I know nothing about the Tesi so am no help to you sorry. If it is a one piece fairing like the 90's bikes, once all of the fasteners are removed, you have to pry open the fairing carefully to get it past the front wheel. I have no idea if the Tesi is the same. There are a few Tesi owners on here, so hopefully someone will be along shortly to help you.

Cheers

Hello Brian. Thank you for your advice.
I have a workshop manual and it says "unscrew the fixing screw, open it slightly and slide it forward". However, the cowl is very narrow. Is it possible for a carbon cowl to spread so much?Please look at the photo.

Thank you.

Unplug the turn signals and remove them.
Remove the turn signal mounting brackets.
Remove both side-covers below the tank.
Remove the two screws circled in your photo.
Spread the fairing/cowl and remove it.

Hello Apollo2

Thank you for the information.
After all, it seems to open the cowl and remove it.
I'll try it later and let you know how it goes.
thank you.

Sorry for the multiple posts. Each time I hit [SUBMIT] I got an ERROR message, so I kept trying. Finally, in a last-ditch effort, I emailed Jun Takei. Today, everything showed up on the forum.

If there is an edit or delete function in this forum, I cannot find it.

It's been a while since I posted, but I was able to safely remove the front fairing of the TESI-3D.
I opened the fairing and moved it forward and then downward to remove it. I now have access to the ECU and fuse box.
I'm considering replacing the ECU with open hardware and an open hardware Speeduino.
Thank you everybody.
