Fuel Tank Installation
1. Place the handlebars in the straight ahead
position. Cover the front of the fuel tank with a
protective cloth to prevent damage.
2. Using care to avoid damage to the fuel tank
fitting and special tool, position the fuel tank on
the frame of the motorcycle.
3. If removed, reinstall the fuel tank vent and drain
lines at the bottom of the tank. Rotate the lines
against the side of the tank.
Torque: 20 in-lbs (2.3 Nm)
4. Make sure the front isolators are installed to the
frame. Apply alcohol, soapy water or rubber
lubricant to ease tank installation.
5. Slide the tank onto the isolators, then slide the tank fully forward. Pivot the rear of the
tank upward to access the tank bottom. Support the rear of the tank in this position.
6. Remove the plug tool from the fuel pump fitting by pressing the center button of the
plastic coupler.
7. Carefully connect the fuel line to the fuel pump fitting. Make sure you hear a click to
indicate proper engagement. Test the connection by pulling the fuel line lightly.
8. Connect the fuel pump harness electrical connector.
9. Verify that the fuel line is correctly routed and secured.
