Fuel Tank Removal / Installation
Before beginning, be prepared to place the fuel tank in a secure location with a drain pan
positioned to catch any fuel that may leak or drip from disconnected hoses or fittings.
1. Remove the seat and both side covers.
2. Remove the right side access cover.
3. With the engine and exhaust cool, wrap a clean shop
towel around the fuel line fitting at the fuel rail.
Disconnect it from the fuel rail by squeezing both
release buttons simultaneously. Gently slide the
fitting from the fuel rail.
NOTICE:
Fuel can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts.
Wipe up spilled fuel immediately using a clean, dry,
soft cloth.
4. At the rear of the tank, disconnect the tank vent hose
and the water drain hose.
5. Remove the tank mounting screws. Collect all grom-
mets and bushings for reassembly.
