Removing the fuel tank

apeluv · October 28th, 2012, 07:24 AM

Been looking for a shop manual.. Any one know how to remove the 1199's fuel tank?
I've removed many fuel tanks from Harley's and GSXR's before and want to make sure i'm doing the 1199 correctly.

It's easy. Take off the key cover and the seat. There are two bolts under the seat and two up by the key. Unplug the fuel pump and you're done. There are some bleeder hoses on the right side of the tank towards the front. Be mindful of those.

What he said. Also the hoses on the right are extremely short.

.... And a real PITA to get them both back on. Took me 20 minutes to change the air filter ans another 35 minutes fiddling with the overflow hoses. Ended up taking off the RH side fairing to gain access.
