Prepare the radiator (Stage 34) and the radiator inlet hose connector (Stage 51). Insert the connector into the hole in the back of the radiator.

Take the engine block, and identify the ends of the hoses and pipes on it as shown in Step 3. Then look for the corresponding holes in the radiator and the oil cooler. First, place the two indicated hose ends into the holes in the radiator. Push the two hose ends into place. This should now hold the radiator in position. Now fit the remaining hoses and pipes into the three holes indicated in Step 7.

Place one of the ends of the breather hose (Stage 34) above the pin projecting from the breather cover, towards the rear of the engine. Push the end of the hose onto the pin. Bend the breather hose over and place the other end onto the pin on the oil return tank. Then take the hose extending from the radiator cap and hold it next to the radiator inlet hose to check how much excess there is, then cut off the excess hose and push the hose onto the pin projecting from the radiator inlet hose.

Remove the steering damper case from the front fork assembly (Stage 54). Insert a 2.3x6mm (silver) screw (Stage 37) into the indicated hole in the case. Insert the end of the screw into the hole indicated at the front of the left frame half and tighten the screw into the hole.

This stage is now complete. Store the assembly and unused parts in labelled bags.

Stage 66 - Contains the wind shield, left & right indicator lens, 2x5mm hex self-tapping screws and 2.3x5mm self-tapping screws.

Have ready: The LED Tester (Stage 47), Horn (Stage 50),,Radiator reservoir tank (Stage 51), Side stand (Stage 58), Front cowl (Stage 64), Front left and right indicators (Stage 64), Headlight case (Stage 65), Headlight lens (Stage 65), Headlight LEDs (Stage 65), Main assembly (Stage 65), 2.3x5mm screws x2(Stage 35), 2.3x 6mm silver self-tapping screws x2 (Stages 39 and 42), 2.3x8mm black hex screw (Stage 58), 2.3x6mm black hex screw (Stage 58).

The Hayabusa was originally equipped with only a side stand, and the centre stand was an optional extra. However, there was a demand from customers who wanted to prevent any possibility of the bike falling, so the centre stand became standard equipment. As this model is based on the first Hayabusa, it has a built-in side stand only, the paddock stand was an option.

If you have not already done so, insert the three AAA batteries into the battery box. Plug the black battery box connector into the black socket of the LED tester (Stage 47).

Distinguish between the front left and front right turn indicator LED's (Stage 64) by the colours of their wires, as shown in Step 3. Insert the green indicator connector into the socket on the LED tester marked JP5, both LED's should light up.
Disconnect all the connectors from the LED tester, then cut the sides of the JP3 socket as shown in Step 7.

Now take the the headlight LEDs (Stage 65). The high beam (left) has grey and brown wires, whereas the low beam (right) has red and black wires. Take the white headlight connector and plug the half of the connector with (red and black wires) into the JP3 socket (only one half of this connector will fit into the socket at a time.) When this half of the connector is plugged into the socket, the low beam LED should light up.

Next, remove the connector and plug the other half of the connector into the same socket. This time, the high beam LED at the end of the grey and brown cables should light up.
Now remove all of the connectors from the sockets on the LED tester and store the tester for later use.

Varnishing the cowling: Further finishing of the bodywork is not necessary, but you may wish to enhance the bodywork by applying a clear gloss coat to provide a high-gloss finish.
Note that it is an advanced technique only suitable for experienced modellers. Therefore you should be confident that you can complete the task to a high standard before you proceed.
Note that the paintwork can be damaged by use of a solvent based gloss coat. Only use an aqueous (water-based) product such as Mr Hobby B-501 or Tamiya X-22 clear, (note that Tamiya TS-13 is solvent based).
You should test any chosen product on an inside inconspicuous part of the bodywork to confirm that the gloss will not react with the paint of the model. When applying varnish to any of the cowling pieces, you must first remove them from the bike.

Insert the front left indicator LED into the indicated hole in the front cowl (Stage 64). Push the LED into the hole in the cowl. If the LED is loose, apply some adhesive around the edge of the hole to secure it, (Do Not use Superglue as this may fog the LED).
Fit the front right indicator into the hole in the right side of the front cowl. Again, use some adhesive to secure it if it is loose.

Align the headlight lens (Stage 65) with the central hole in the cowl. Rest the lens into the recessed edge of the hole in the cowl, then place the headlight case (Stage 65) into the cowl while holding the lens in position.
Align the holes at the side of the headlight case with those in the cowl. Insert a 2.3x 6mm silver self-tapping screw (Stage 39) into the hole in the side of the case and tighten the screw. Tighten a second 2.3x6mm silver self-tapping screw (Stage 42) into the second hole in the case.

Insert the high beam LED into the lower hole in the case. Push the LED into the hole. Secure it with adhesive if it is loose. Push the low beam LED into the upper hole in the case.

Align the projection of the horn (Stage 50) with the hole in the underside of frame bridge D, as shown. Push evenly on both sides of the horn to insert the pin into the hole.

Take the side stand (Stage 58) and place it on the left side of the frame. Tap the two indicated holes with a 2.3mm tap (or with a 2.3mm self-tapping screw) to create a thread that will take the screws used to secure the stand.
Align the holes of the side stand with those in the frame. Place a 2.3x6mm black hex screw (Stage 58) into the cross wrench, and insert the tip into the upper hole of the stand. Turn the cross wrench to the right, to tighten the screw into place in the hole in the frame, then tighten a 2.3x8mm black hex screw into the second hole of the stand.

Insert a 2.3x5mm screw (Stage 35) into the indicated hole at the top of the radiator reservoir tank (Stage 51).
Insert the tip of the screw into the indicated hole in the left side of the frame and tighten the screw into place. Inset a second 2.3x5mm screw into the other hole at the top of the tank and tighten it into the hole in the frame. Take the hose extending from the radiator reservoir tank and pass it down alongside the tank, as shown in Step 35.

This complete's this Stage, carefully store the unused parts in a labelled bag.

Stage 67 - Contains the under cowl, centre cowl frame, left grip, left handle, hande end, clutch lever and 2x6mm black self- tapping screws.

Have ready: Hoses (Stage 65), Front cowl (Stage 66), Front shield (Stage 66), Left indicator lens (Stage 66), Right indicator lens (Stage 66), Main frame (Stage 66), 2x5mm hex self-tapping screws x2 (Stage 66), 2.3x6mm silver self-tapping screws x2 (Stage 42).

Take the hose extending from the thermostat attached to the upper left back side of the radiator and pass it up through the frame. You can secure the ends with adhesive. Cut the thermostat hose where it meets the frame as shown in Step 2, then secure the hose to the inside of the frame with tape. The hose would normally be bundled up with cables on the real bike, but for ease of assembly of the model, it will be hidden away here.

Prepare the two hoses left over from Stage 65. Align the end of one of the two hoses with the projection at the bottom of the radiator reservoir tank and push the hose onto the projection. Pass the other end between the radiator reservoir tank and the cylinder block.

Take the other hose, pass it down through the frame, and align it with the radiator inlet hose connector and fit the hose onto the end of the connector. Fix the other end of the hose to the inside of the frame with tape, as shown in Step 10.

Place the front shield at the top of the front cowl (both parts from Stage 66). Align the holes in the shield with the corresponding holes in the cowl. Insert a 2.3x6mm silver self-tapping screw (Stage 42) into one of the pairs of aligned holes near the bottom of the shield and tighten the screw into place. Tighten another 2.3x6mm silver self-tapping screw into the holes on the other side of the shield.

Insert a 2x5mm hex self-tapping screw (Stage 66) into one of the pairs of aligned holes at the top of the cowl and use an allen key to tighten the screw into place. Tighten a second 2x5mm hex self-tapping screw into the holes on the other side.

Identify the two indicator lenses from Stage 66. Each has a hook at the top and the bottom. Position the left indicator lens over the left indicator, push the indicator lens into place, engaging the hooks with the corresponding holes in the cowl. Fit the right indicator lens in the same way.

This completes this Stage, store the unused parts.
