[Nick JacksonMember]

TANK REMOVAL ( this may save someone some time !)

Remove side plastics and indicator plastics

Remove seat

Remove flat tank bracket under seat

Remove tank bolts behind radiator , if crash bars have been fitted remove spacer with the bolt. 

View with crash bars fitted

Remove handle bars and lay forward

Disconnect fuel pipe underneath tank

Unplug sensor wires

Remove tank over flow pipe or pull up with tank 

I had no fuel run out of the tank outlet pipe but as their is no tap I used the overflow pipe and pushed it on the outlet to be sure. 

Lift off tank

Cheers Nick it will save me time for sure. I am about to pull my Tenere down and go over it from end to end as it has now done 20k. While it’s stripped down it will get a good clean, I will run spare in place cables for clutch and throttle pull. I will check the valve clearances and fit all the new parts I have coming for Camerons which is only 20 weeks away

Thanks for taking the time to do the DIY thing up as I am sure it helps people. Anyone can post up how they do something as I am sure it helps others as this one will help me and it’s doesnt have to be a video as Nick has shown
