He's Dead Jim! Horn removal

[keef666]

Hi Guys got a z1000 2006, and the horn won't work at the moment, check the wires etc so it looks like the horn is dead.
The question! How the hell do you get it off to replace it, its fixed on a little bracket behind the rad and no space to get at it, please don't tell me i have to strip half the bike down,  Tank off, coolant drain, loosen the radiator so i can get my hands in to undo the nuts?

if its anything like my gen 4 the bracket is flexible enough to bend just enough to get a socket in at the 2 fixing pins, i replaced my horn and the 2 pins with stainless cap heads.

Just spent 6 hours replacing my tail tidy that snapped, god what a job, when i sorted that out i checked the horn again, turns out the connectors to the spades weren't seated right, got them on now and tightened the screw up, pushed the hooty and whey hey it worked! but when i have more time i will have ago and take it off, the crash bars are in the way, which doesn't help, but thanks for  the reply
