[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 179333, member: 5012"] Take the seat and tank off ten minute job and every time you do it it gets easier. No cables are not long enough and yes they are a pain in the arse. Here are your seat off, tank off,tops af, tips for today. Remove the nuts and shaft from the front seat mount. Put a wee towel over the back guard. Remove the rear bolts by two on the seat. Put seat in the corner. Undo the two rear tank bolts remove note the way the rubbers go for re fitting. Look under the tank by the fuel taps you should see on each side a nut which holds the rear tank brace remove the nuts shaft and spacer bar. Undo the two fuel pipe feeds. Go to the front of the bike. Get your masking tape out. Remove the oil filler cap and tape around the neck. The neck of the filler not your neck or you are a vicar,, Tape over the head stock and damper knob on or near the bars. This for a reason it will become apparent when you are bashing the tank off them on your first removal. I recommend the following words be used during the operation, fek,bugger and bastard. Nah kidding it is an easy one and one you need to master grasshopper. Undo the two front tank mount bolts and remove them. When removing the tank I wiggle forward then back reach in, reach round and pop out the front tank rubbers to give clearance for a smooth extraction of the tank. All done refitting is the reverse. Tips for when tank is off. Note route of throttle and choke cables, make it better,note route of clutch and dec compressor cable for when you trap them putting the tank back on. You can use the aforementioned swear words at this stage also. I like the clutch and de con inside the front tank mount. Throttle near side through the top front engine mount or around the head stock. Throttle choke off side inside front tank mount straight back to carb lovely job. Unless you are a gynecologist this is the easiest way to get at the carbs and sort them out. It is all, discovery and training skills that will make ownership fun and expand your vocabulary to include many anglo saxon phrases and terms. Al [/QUOTE]
