Default Adjusting Handlebars

Do I have to remove the front fairing shell to get at the bolts holding my handlebars down for adjustment?

You need to pull the outer fairing and the radio to get to the two rear bolts. You need to pull the ignition and inner fairing cap to get to the bottom two bolts.

You should be able to adjust them by just loosening the bottom two bolts.
