What have guy found to be the simplest way to remove the yellow paint marks left behind during assembly?
 
The mine after 29000km and 7 years was still present....
Then with cotton and nitro thinner in 2 seconds I resolved. Pay attention to the paint.
 
I use them as a reference when putting it back together …
Not a good idea. Torque will change after the parts were torqued initially. The paint just signifies it was checked at the factory. Also I don't recommend removing the pain from the "sacred screw". It tells the mechanic it hasn't been messed with.

Hi John,
I don’t retighten them to that spot, it lets me know if if I haven’t done that one yet , and when i get there I *might*. Be getting close ;) to spec.
 
Obviously, never erase the paint from the "sacred screws". Here we are talking about the paint dots on the handlebar screws which are visible and are only signs of a successful check, not for fixing the screw.
Unfortunately they are both yellow and red, so you would have to paint the bike half red and half yellow to hide them
 
The screws with paint used to block them, For example those for the throttle position trimming.

Actually the throttle stop screw for bikes with two throttle bodies that use the 5AM or 15RC ECUs. Once moved the throttle position cannot be reset correctly.
 
G uzzi had yellow paint too? I haven't discovered a drop on the Stone.
But it has "history.." :nerd:
 
I bought a yellow paint pen. Now, whenever I torque a nut or bolt to spec, I'll add a dab of paint. this way, I can tell at a glance if anything is beginning to loosen.
