XT660R Fuel Tank removal

Hi, I need to get access to the cabling and connectors beneath the fuel tank. Does anybody know how easy it is to disconnect it? I just need to pull it back or lift it a couple of inches if this is feasible to avoid disconnecting everything.

if you undo the tank bolts you have enough room to work under it, without having to disconnect the fuel hoses.

This thread has been moved to the Service and Maintenance section as it was posted in the Newbie's Introduction area.

If I remember rightly two bolts by the seat end of the tank and then you pull it back from some rubber clamps at the top end and that's it.

I am looking for a pic on the service manual...

I have that service manual but it is far from explaining what it is supposed to. The drawing does not show exactly how many attachments the tank has.

It's not difficult mate, I have absolutely no mechanical skills and even I was able to undo the tank, it's very easy remove the panels (cowlings) and locate the bolts to unscrew and the tank should become free but still attached to the fuel hoses.
