Remove it along the whole grill and get a nice shiney grill with ZRX written across it. :cool:

I think the vast majority have removed it. No need to remove the grill, just pull the grill forward and turn the diamond, it will push out of the grill and with a little bit of help, it will fall out the bottom.

I've looked around but can't find a pic and mine hasn't got one so hopefully someone else will find a pic or take one when they can.

What diamond thing? I was told they stopped making the ZRX in 05?:doh:

I think they stopped fitting them when they stopped making the bike, not sure though, they might have carried on ;)

The ZRX was still available this year over here, as far as I know they have stopped production but a few could still be in the shops. Someone said the 06 ZRX didnt have the rubber thing fitted anyway :dunno:

Thanks JF, I can see I will have to choose my words more carefully in the future, sarcastic gits.
I do have a question, can I add pictures to my 'Rogue bike' entry..If so How?
Bloody computers....:hmm:

Someone said the 06 ZRX didnt have the rubber thing fitted anyway :dunno:That's right....picked up my NEW 1200 last Friday, and was advised a few days later by another owner to remove the 'diamond', but....................when i looked, there wasn't one.:hmm:
