removing fuel tank
I need to pop the tank off so I can run the wires from heated grips to multi plug under the seat, how hard is it to get off? I'm presuming that when I remove the fuel pipes from the tank underneath that it's not going to piss all its fuel out, I'm more used to messing about with my 2 strokes with fuel taps, plus I think I'm a bit nervous because the bikes only 4 days old!

Old Git Ray did a pictorial walk-through for removing the tank a while back when he fitted a Speedo Healer. Here it is...

The first time might take a while, but you'll get quicker with practice (and when you've got a feel for where the connectors are and how they come apart). |

Hi,
how did the tank removal go? Quick question. Doesnt the fuel come off the tank after removing the fuel hose? Or is the pipe closed automatically after pulling the hose off? Just read the official service manual and the first step is to remove the fuel from the tank with a pump 
cheers |

Emptying the tank before doing it only serves to make it lighter. A full tank of fuel is pretty hard to handle especially while you need to wiggle all the plugs and hoses off. I've never bothered to do it though. But I also avoid filling up the tank before having to remove it. |
