Tank removal is fairly easy - the second time....

Remove the two side panels (the ones the indicators are attached to), two allen head screws each. Careful of the large rubber washers on the lower pins, they'll make a brake for freedom (I've put some duck tape around the pins so they stay in place)

Remove the side 'scoops', theses are the protection panels on the side of the tank, not forgetting that they are attached at the front of the rad too.

Remove the plastic supports from under the tank that the scoops are connected to (you can manage without removing these - but it's easier if you take them off, only three screws each),

Remove the two long bolts from behind the scoops,

Remove the seat, then the fixing plate at the end of the tank (where the tool kit lives)

Lift the tank up, put your hand under and remove the retaining clip from the fuel connector.

Remove the two electrical connectors, and the overflow,

The fiddly bit, squeeze the sides of the fuel line connector together, the connector will come away from the tank easily. If it's not easy, you haven't squeezed enough!

Best to do this with an empty tank.... obviously!

Lift the tank away and put it on a blanket, or something else soft, be gentle - you don't want to destroy the fuel pump!

See.... easy.

Reassembly is just the reverse of taking it off.

Second time it really is much easier.
