Title: Toolbox removal.
Post by: GTRpilot on April 03, 2016, 02:20:46 PM
Trying to get at the rear accessory leads by way of removing the toolbox for access. Why do kawasaki decide to put anti vandal screws to hold the toolbox in place???  :wacko:

Later models have normal screws instead of security ones.
You may be able to loosen them with a hammer and centre punch to tap the round

I found a small pair of mole grips clamped on them worked just fine.

 :listencarefully: it's a bit late if they've got to your tool box, they can strip the bike, but at least you'll have a plastic box left  :wacko:
