To remove your tank, first turn your gas off, and remove the gas hose to the petcock. There is a small clip by the petcock that holds the hose on. You will need to remove the chrome panel on the tank. It’s held on by 3 allen bolts. Once you have removed the bolts, you can lift the panel off the tank and unsnap the wiring harness. Remove your seat. That will expose the rather large bolt at the base of your tank, which holds the tank on. After you remove that bolt, slowly pull the tank towards the rear of the bike then lift upwards. After you have the tank lifted up a couple of inches, you will see the vent hose on the underside. Slip the vent hose off the tank and the tank should be free to set on the ground.
