Chaps,

how to dismantle the fuel tank? Ok there is one screw underneath the seat, that is simple and so is the removal of the electrical cable leading to the tank. My issue is this fuel hose to the fuel pump. Strange connector I ve never seen before. Do I have to just pull it off the pump, or turn it remove?
Not sure and dislike to damage something so I better ask this stupid question.

The service manual, as usual, doesnt cover it. Basically, never seen a crappy SM like the download version from GM to be honest. Ok it is free of charge what can one expect but anyway. I wonder if the dealers some something better at hand.
I was hoping Clymer or Haynes would have one a/v for new v7 but apparently do not to my surprise.
Any really good aftermarket SM that you are aware of?

Thx in advance

Joerg
 
Bellagio has same system, but pump is mounted left front side of tank.
As I cant see what I'm doing when I've got 2 hands in there, and not willing to push and pull till it breaks.
First time I cut thru the fuel line about 20mm back from the end.
With the tank off it was much easier to see/feel the clip lock mechanism and I removed it. Then removed the 20mm of fuel hose.
Fitted the clip lock nozzle with a hose clamp to the fuel line on the bike, making sure the screw head of the hose clamp will be easily accessible next time I need to remove the tank.

With the tank sitting back on the bike, it is easy to just push the nozzle back on.
 
Gutsibits sell the little easily breakable plastic spigot under the fuel pump... Careful with the downstream connector too, thats also very fragile... ask me how I know. Bah.
