#712417 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter! Platinum Boarder Posts: 6961 How to remove FI fuel tank? 4 Years, 3 Months ago   Removing the bolt, gauges and overflow line is easy. But what's the easiest way to remove the fuel and electrical lines to the fuel pump so the tank can be lifted off?   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #712446 blue_star (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6570 Re:How to remove FI fuel tank? 4 Years, 3 Months ago   You have 2 electrical connections that need to be unplugged. 1 at the rear of the tank, I think it's a green connector. The other connector is behind the chrome cover on the left side of the motor. One fuel line is just held on with a hose clamp, easy to get off. The other fuel line has one of those quick connectors on it. Kinda hard to explain but part of the connector slides up and then push in on the blue button and pull the line off.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #712450 signalzero (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 915 Re:How to remove FI fuel tank? 4 Years, 3 Months ago   The only thing from the fuel pump that needs to be removed is the fuel line at the petcock.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #712452 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

This is not your old carbed version.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #712464 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter! Platinum Boarder Posts: 6961 Re:How to remove FI fuel tank? 4 Years, 3 Months ago   Correct. There is no petcock on a fuel injected R*. So is it correct to say that no significant amount of gas will flow out of the tank because the fuel pump is not running?   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #712465 HK45 (User) I'll Make Ya Famous Platinum Boarder Posts: 1599 Re:How to remove FI fuel tank? 4 Years, 3 Months ago   Take off chrome cover for instrument panel. There is vent hose on right side front of tank. Undo electrical connection for fuel pump. Then there are two lines to undo for fuel pump. One being a blue quick disconnect and the other a hose just clamped on. Take off seat. Undo bolt on rear of tank. Pull tank backwards off rubber nubs in the front. Best to do with tank near empty. I did it on a full tank and it was heavy and awkward.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #712466 HK45 (User) I'll Make Ya Famous Platinum Boarder Posts: 1599 Re:How to remove FI fuel tank? 4 Years, 3 Months ago   Shores wrote: Correct.

You will get a little from the hose that was clamped on. I used a large Allen wrench to plug it. The quick disconnect line will not leak.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
