Hi all.
need some advice please. 2009 abs model and starter motor needs to come out. I have removed tank and air box Throttle body still there. The abs unit is obviously in the way and don’t want to delete it or disconnect any lines as apparently it’s a long job bleeding the system. I have managed to loosen one of the two starter motor bolts but the second is really difficult to get to. Especially with a water hose close by. Any tips or advice on how to get the starter out before I waste anymore time and patience. Haha.

Remove left fairing, loosen the front brake line mount bracket on the left side of the radiator, loosen the stator cover bolts holding the ABS unit, and move the entire unit out of the way to reach the other starter bolt and make room for the starter to slide out.

Thank you. I got it right yesterday and exactly the way you said. Cheers.
