Tupperware removal chart

I was casually leafing through my lovely Honda Workshop Manual when I came across a small chart which attempts to show the proper sequence for removing all the body panels. I know I'm being thick but can someone explain the diagram (in simple terms) at all? I can't seem to work out where to start

Very interested as well. Wish I had the manual. Grrrrr.

It seems simple enough in my shiny new Honda Manual, 2-1 is the Body Panel Removal Chart and the order they should be removed, 2-0 shows the Body Panel Locations and a list of where the relevant pages are for removing them e.g. (7) Rear Under Cover (page 2-6).

Now my nice new Honda Manual is going back into the garage.

Gustafa lad, you can get hold of the same Manual quicker and for less money than we pay in the UK.

I'm not sure I understand that chart either... However, I've found that you just go to the page that has the panel removal instructions you want and they will in turn instruct you individually on what other work, if any, needs to be done first.

On enforced break from work this week so I thought I'd whip all my plastics off - no real reason other than curosity and boredom - I actually enjoy it
Anyway, my first comment is that the tupperware is pretty complex but doable if one follows the Manual. However, my 2015/16 bike has a few extra fixings here and there so presumably there were some changes made over time - bear in mind if using the original manual as I am.

Second comment, there is apparent wear to some of the wiring loom runs in several places - I've taped/tie wrapped them. I'm thinking this could be the cause of vibration or panel rattle on take off but we'll see.

Third comment, some of the panel clips underneath are quite rusty already (3k miles on the bike) so I've cleaned and applied ACF50 to the clips and all fasteners. 

Final comment, there is evidence of cracked paint and rust at three of the welds on the frame rails - nothing a blob of rust killer, black paint and ACF50 wont fix.

While in there, I installed the Oxford heated grips running the cables neatly up through the frame. All in all an entertaining and useful day in the garage 

Any special body panel tools needed?  In a quick visual comparison of my two different 2013 Honda scooters, the Silver Wing seems to make more use of screws and the PCX150 uses more pop or press fit connectors.

Nothing special. Couple of Allen keys, screwdrivers, sockets and a tool for pushing pin clips in - i use a blunt dental pick. Bit fiddly at times especially with awkward panel tabs.

Thanks! Admire that you went ahead and did that. I should also take mine apart (to install a radio) but we're already in the "too hot to work in the garage season." Heat index pushing 110 degrees F today!

Now thats useful. I'm hopefully going to be in Dallas this time next year for a conference so I'll make sure to pack my mankini

Did you remove ALL the tupperware, fit heated grips and refit ALL the tupperware in a day ?  I'm impressed  

Den  

Started early, worked methodically (tip - use egg cartons for the individual panel fasteners), Radio 2 on in background and large coffee jug. Hardest part? Getting the nuts on the seat studs while holding it up using my head!

Do holler if you're in town and want some good Texas BBQ--you'll have to wear something more than a mankini, though.

I too looked and thought wonder what they were thinking, I've seen these before but this one seems to be lacking the arrow part, it flowed but altogether.
