Since it's so often discussed on this forum, I figured I would post a how to on removing/lifting the tank without removing the fairings.
All pictures are from a 2006 model.
Ok; here we go:
First of all, here's what you will need to complete the process:
1 Allen key (5mm), 1 Flange key(?) 10mm, a pair of clamps:
(I also use an extension piece but that is not needed)
First we have to make sure we don't spill any fuel, so we have to block 2 overflow fuel hoses.
Both hoses are found under the bike, right side, where the center stand is mounted.
The can be identified by the white stripe on them, and the facts that they are cut of in an angle:
To block them off, we are going to use the clamps:
First bend the hose:
Then apply clamp:
Repeat on both hoses:
