So I'm a Honda guy. I have hondas, my girl has a honda. HONDA HONDA. My buddy has a gixxer and wanted help denting his tank, then removing it for paint...

denting no problem, but removal?? wtf. the main fuel line instead of having nuts/bolts, has a plastic clip like electrical connector. I didnt want to break it, having never seen it before, so what is the proper way to disconnect that and take the tank off?

we first took of the top 2 by the tripple. then removed battery, and started taking out the bottom 4. could only remove 2 of them b/c we couldnt lift the tank enough to get at the bottom 2. So now we need to disconnect fuel pump so the tank will come up more????

please help me! ;( gotta get this done today for the paint guy!

There's a bolt that holds that 4bolt tank bracket your try'n to get to, it bolts thru the subframe, its were the tank pivots, remove that and the tank is free. (leave 4bolt bracket on tank)

Fuel line is like a slip collar connector, press tabs down to pull line off pump... Push it back on til it snaps to re-install......
