Does anyone have any detailed instructions or tips on removing the fairings on a 2017 Grom? I've seen videos on older models but the new model seems to differ due to the different seat.

As someone who's never pulled one apart before it was incredibly simple.

I'm going off memory here so take it with a grain of salt.

Remove in rough order:

For the rear cowl

Remove Seat
2 x 10mm Bolts about half way down under the seat
2 x Philips head screws near the taillight mount
All screws from the mudguard (where tail tidy is), should be 3/4 on each side
Pop out the seat fairing clip near the fuel tank and pull backwards, whole unit should slide out

For side panels:

2 x 10mm bolts which are accessible once you remove the rear cowl
Remove hex bolt near seat key
1 x Philips head screw at the very front top of the fuel tank
2 x hex screws on the little painted side vent thing
Pop out clip near the back of the side fairing, it sits underneath the set cowl
Pull side fairing out, theres 2 clips along the top of the fuel tank which just pull out
Lift fairing upwards to free it from the hook which also holds it in place

If I had a Gopro I'd go outside and take them off in literally 2 minutes, once you do it the first time it's childs play, and the only tools you need are all in the bikes toolkit. Philips head, Hex key and 10mm spanner, although obviously a proper ratchet makes it easier.

It's not pretty, but here's a picture of mine showing the clips and hook point

GROM comes with a toolkit? I must have missed it or perhaps US-spec doesnt come with it?

Tool kit is in a little black vinyl bag, tucked into the right side of the seat cowl.
I didn't need to pull the rear fender off, there's two screws in the underside of the cowl, one each side. Those two, along with the four you take out from top, and mine slid of the back with some careful flexing. I have a rack that puts the fender down an inch or so, not sure if that effects anything.

USA groms sold in 2014 never came with tool kit and to my knowledge a lot of the motorcycles now days do not come with tool kits. The last time I seen a tool kit in a Japanese motorcycle was on my 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa.

I had to buy my Grom tool kit from Tyga from Thailand.

Gogrom.com has the tool kits if anyone wants them. Owners manual mentions that the us models don't have the tool kit. Ended up making my own that's more compact and does more.

I usually have a backpack so I carry a tool kit in a zipper bag that's about the size of a pencil pouch. I have everything I need to adjust the chain, pull the plastics, adjust mirrors or clutch and more. Gives me some peace of mind.

Huh. Weird. All bikes come with a tool kit here I think (Australia), certainly the four I've bought over the last couple of years have. Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha and now a Honda, all had them. Mind you, half of them have been f'ing useless.
