I've just got the thing off...I made a generator-cover removal tool and it worked! 
Thank you for your advice.  I'll post a pic of the gadget later.


BTW...I presume I can simply unscrew the electrics and re-fit them the same way, once I've painted the cover?


Muchas gracias,

Hello,


I want to clean up the generator cover on my FZS600 (Year 2000 - W reg).
Do I simply remove the five bolts around the edge of the cover, or the five bolts plus the big one which is sort of 2 o'clock?


Muchas gracias!

p.s. I've attempted to attach a relevant photo but I don't know if this will work or not...
