how the heck do i remove the front fairing and the petrol tank on my 2011/2012 stelvio NTX, i cant seem to be able to find anythig ,and, as i will be wandering arround the Namib desert on her , it would be nice if i could do a few thing, if i get stuck in the middle of nowhere, I would like to be able to change the fuel filter as well, how do i remove the feed pipe without causing any damage???
thanks in advance

Page 351 in the Service manual. Of course you may need to translate a little italian. Just follow the pictures.

Assuming you are talking about the fairing on the seat side of the tank. There are 4 bolts, 2 located on the left side and 2 on the right side of the bike. Once those are removed it slides out. If you are talking about the side covers just look around the bottom of the covers. Should be 2 allen head screws and one nut if I remember correctly. One screw at the front, one in the middle and a nut that holds it on at the back (may have missed one so just keep looking around)

As for the tank, there are 2 bolts at the back and one on the front. Disconnect all hoses and connections to the pump and then just lift.

either i am being very stupid ,or, the workshop manual and owners handbook dont say much at all about removing tank, mainly the high-pressure connector.

See; https://www.guzzitech.com/forum/160/37 ... 836#p27033 - and be careful because the downside is a broken fuel spigot, which if you scroll up on the link above, you can see what repair is needed or replacement of the entire pump assembly.
 
everything sorted eccept for the quick connector to the fuel line .I dont want to use "brute force and ignorance", So, whats the trick to it without doing any damage??? Somebody must have taken the tank off their late model stelvio without doing any damage by now!!!

Try the search feature of this forum. Here is a hint, enter +tank +removal in the search criteria.
 
Charlie, you have to click and read. Your tank is no different then most all big block models since '06. In short, it requires the fuel line to be pushed towards the red elbow while pulling back on the grey sleeve. Wiggling helps. There are other techniques linked above on how to make it easier.
 
Charlie, sometimes the fuel line comes of easily sometimes mostly they don't, but its important not to use force.

One little trick is to get a very small thin screw driver pinch the outer part of the connector you should then be able to see the quick release clips on the inside - then carefully ease back one quick release and then gently do the next, then angle it and it should come off very easily. But you have to be patient.
