====Fairings==== | |||
It takes only 20 minutes to pop off both side fairings. You simply need a 4mm and 5mm allen, a #2 phillips screwdriver, and a flat bladed screwdriver. | It takes only 20 minutes to pop off both side fairings.

Once that's done, you just wiggle the fairings loose from the front cowl and set them aside in a nice safe place (not on the floor). | Once that's done, you just wiggle the fairings loose from the front cowl and set them aside in a nice safe place (not on the floor). | ||
====Gas tank==== | |||
*There are two 5mm headed allen bolts holding the front seat to the frame. Remove those, push the seat back, and up and off it comes. | |||
*Once you've removed the seat you will see the two 10mm headed bolts holding the back of the gas tank down. Remove those, and then you can lift up the tank a little bit, disconnect the fuel gauge wire, and disconnect the vacuum line from the petcock. | |||
*On the left side of the gas tank, near the front, is the drain hose. Disconnect that. | |||
*Finally, remove the main fuel line from the left carb. It's much easier removing it there than at the petcock. | |||
*Off comes the tank. Put it somewhere safe. | |||
