How to remove a gas tank

First, get most of the fuel out of the tank. Remove the chrome housing from around the speedometer. Just remove the one bolt near the bottom, should be a allen head bolt. Then lift the bottom of it up slightly, and wiggle it forward to get it off. Then wiggle the speedometer off the same way. Don't forget to take the connector off the the back of the speedometer. Just push the little ear in the middle, and wiggle it off. There is another connector just under where the speedometer was. It is in the space by the frame under the front of the tank. Disconnect it also. Look to the right of where the last connector was, you should see a little hose connected to the fuel tank. Remove it also. Remove the seat. Remove the 2 bolt's at the bottom of the fuel tank. Before removing the tank, on the left side, remove the coil cover. It is just under the tank. Depending on you're bike, it should be chrome. There is only 1 phillip's head screw to remove, (or should be). Wiggle it straight off toward you. It should come off real easy. Look under the fuel tank, you should see a fuel line connected to the fuel tank. Look for the red connector. Take a flat head or slotted screwdriver and remove the little red clip till it comes out a little. It does not come all the way off. Then the fuel line should come right off. You might have to wiggle it a little. A little fuel will come out, but not much. Then look under the tank where the fuel line was, you will see some wire's coming down from the tank. Remember where you took off the chrome coil cover? There should be a connector to disconnect the wire's. You can follow the wire's down until you find them. I had a difficult time to remove it. I had to end up cutting my wire's one at a time and putting some spade connector's on them. This make's it easier to remove the fuel tank in future cases. The tank should come off now. There might be some more connector's or wire's to take off as every bike is usually not the same. Hope this help's.
