I'm curious... Posted by Larry West [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Radiator Replacement, Rocket900S, Tue, 6 Apr 2010 05:32:05 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
How are you removing the hood that it's a two-part operation?
Removing the hood from a C900 is a two-bolt, one-hose job, and it's all out of the way: hood, bracketry, torsion springs, everything.
When the hood is open, there are the two arms coming off the hood that are connected to the small brackets that are mounted coming around the rear of the radiator crossmember. These brackets don't move (though they can be adjusted), they merely provide a pivot point for the hood at the ends of the long arms. Attached to these brackets are small stamped steel arms. One end of that arm is at the pivot point, and the other has the long arm off the hood bolted to it. Remove these bolts (these are short bolts), disconnect the washer hose, and remove the hood by taking it forward an inch or so (off the pivot), and away. Sometimes one person can remove it and even replace it.
I've never seen the need to remove anything else in 23 years of 900 ownership.
Maybe I'm not understanding your description correctly?
