Hi everyone,
After a lovely summer/autumn with great rides I am now attempting my first 12,000-mile service.
I ran into a problems soon enough of course ; how to remove the radiator cowl?
If you look at the attached picture you will see the hydraulic brake line attached to the cowl.
My questions as follows :
1) Is this the correct routing of the brake line ?
2) Do I need to unscrew and hence open the brake line (and drain the brake fluid) in order to remove the cowl ?

Best regards,
