Answer 3

*REMEMBER* to always shut the gas off at the petcock before removeing the tank.

First you remove the plastic side covers just below the seat on the left and right side of the bike. Next you will see near the front of the seat and about 1inch below a metal tab with a bolt in it that mounts the seat to the frame of the bike on both sides, remove the two blots from the mounts on each side of the seat.

Now you grab the seat and gently pull it forward and up, be careful not the hit the tank. This will remove the seat from the rear slide in mount. The seat should now just lift straight off.

At the rear of the tank/front of the seat you will see a single bolt through the tank mount and in to the frame. remove that bolt.

Now, remove the gas line from the petcock and plug the end of the gas line with a small screw. Remove the vent line from the petcock.

left the tank from the back near the tank mount at a slight angle toward the front and gently pull the tank toward the rear of the bike, this will remove the tank from the front rubber mounts.

Your done!
