Meter Cover Removal

[skiper]

I can't get meter cover off. Followed tech manual , two screws out - then tabs are hanging up and pulling and gentle prying, not working. I've removed cowl pockets, mirrors,middle cowl lid, headlight under cowl, engine guard cover, side cover. I'm cautious-don't want to bust it up. Any ideas ? words of - How Not To do it ?

Pull harder - The tabs really hold it in well. You might want to jiggle onside first using your fingers to pry the tabs apart.

Thanks John - pull straight back towards rider ? - away from dash or up ? Still holding tight near the screw area and top edge of turn signal.

skiper-if you pull on the top of the dash, you can barely see the upper tabs by the turn signal, pull on it and take a jewler screwdriver and push the tab down. This worked for me. Look at it good when you get if off the first time and you will understand how it works.
