How to Copy and Paste Bike Schematics

[shieldsm]

I found that not matter how careful I was taking my bike apart and bagging and labels all the various parts, putting the bike back together at times seemed difficult as I had forgotten how all the parts went on properly. Yes, the manuals are good for the main components (suspension, carbs, etc) but what about the fenders, or the fuel tank, and all those misc brackets?

Using the bike schematics when ordering OEM parts is the best way to see how everything is installed and unless you have a computer in your garage, using the Snipping Tool on your computer, then copying and pasting everything onto a Word document is the best method since you can print and utilize when needed.

1. Go into a website that carries all the OEM parts for your bike model. For this example I used Bike Bandit.

2. Click on "All schematics" and find the schematic for the area you need a diagram for.

3. On the lower right of the picture hit the last button that has a downward arrow "Full Image". It will now show a full view of the schematic.

4. Open up your Snipping Tool (it usually is a free accessory with Windows programs)

5. Drag and highlight the entire picture. A new box will show up with the area you highlighted.

6. Hit the Edit button on the top of the page and then select "Copy"

7. Open up Word and then right click and select "Paste". Now you have a decent sized picture that can be printed and utilized for your use.

Hope this helps!

I use the buttons "Alt" and "Print Screen" to copy what every is displayed in the current window. ("Ctrl" and "Print Screen" does everything you see on your monitor)
Then open Word or MS Paint and hit "Ctrl" and "v". (or you mouse guyys can right click, "Paste")
Then you can print out anything you can see on your screen... Even crop and resize as you like.
