Hello DMF, I've tried using the search but had no luck finding any info on swapping a fuel tank on a 07' S2R800. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for a how to or even just some install advice. It seams pretty straight forward but any info or advice wouldn't hurt.
Thanks in advance. [beer]
Ride it until the fuel light comes on, then ride it for an additional ~15 miles. Remove seat, lift the tank, pull the fuel pump connector plug, and the fuel lines making sure you know which is which for reinstallation. Pull the hinge pin out, flip tank over on its back on a soft surface and remove the flange bolts. Carefully lift the pump assembly off the bottom of the tank. Siphon or drain the rest of the fuel out. Pull the vent hoses in case you haven't already done so. Swap everything to the new tank and reinstall.
Maybe think about putting in a new fuel filter too while you are at it. I mean you are opening it up might as well do it while you are in there. When I had my tank replaced under warranty I had them do this for just the cost of the filter.
Awesome! Thanks for the help. It seams pretty straight forward. I'll report back if I somehow manage to mess this up.
