First service done yesterday on the GTM V85TT, which included some exploratory investigation on the inner workings. Below is info on the evap and tip valve to eliminate the fuel tank pressurization and future running issues, like all other V7/V9s.
Tank removal is fairly easy. Under the key cover is two front bolts, and one in the rear, unplug the connectors/fuel lines, and off it comes. Info on the SAS Kit is HERE (which is also the same as the V7/V9s.)
1. Key cover, one bolt on each side, slide forward and lift.
2. This exposes the two tank bolts (one shown missing below), and the grey/green valve is the infamously notorious tip-over valve:
3. Fuel line and rear tank bolt arrowed:
4. L to R, fuel pump connector, breather/overflow and fuel line disconnect. These all can be done prior to tank removal via easy access under the tank frame mount bracket shown.
5. With the tank removed looking forward, the tip valve shown apart and gutted (use heat from a hair dryer or eq, and a small screwdriver to pop apart, then can be snapped back together), and red arrow is the evap can. You can snip and plug the line partially hidden (arrowed) line to resolve the intake leak.
