how to take the gas tank out of my 2012 V7 Stonw??? I've seen a screw when i remove the seat, but i don't want to start taking it a figer out what to do along the way, want to take tips from u guys for fast n easy removal. like is there a any fuel lines, or wiring ....
thanks
 
Just the one bolt on the rear of the tank, and two rubber bumpers in the front, so slide the tank back and up as you pull rearward. There's a electrical connector/plug for the fuel pump, a quick release on the fuel line, and a fuel cap rubber drain tube. The V7 has two fuel line disconnects actually, one at the pump (quite tough until you do a few), and a much simple push to release fitting near the frame. It'll make sense when you pull the tank back, or you can see this in the parts PDF under resources above.
 
I took the tank off my '13 V7 Stone last Saturday so that I could do some fuel delivery troubleshooting and, while I was at it, replace the ill-reputed half-plastic fuel filter with a solid metal one (Mahle KL145). The only tricky part about removing the tank is the quick-coupler at the front end of the fuel line. It turned out to be much easier than I feared, especially because someone here or at Wildgoose Chase described the coupling as being similar to an air compressor quick-coupler. Slipped right apart. On my bike, the hoses for the tank vent (near the front of the tank) and the filler overflow/water trough drain (near the rear of the tank) didn't have hose clamps, despite what the parts blow-up shows, and they slipped off without any trouble. Some folks have reported that getting the tank back on is difficult, but mine slid right on. The rubber pucks that engage depressions at the front bottom of the tank should be checked to see that they're well lubricated (making the tank slide on easily) and that the bolts that attach them are secure (there is a report of them being or becoming unscrewed and damaging the tank). Also, it helps if the tank is nearly empty, as mine was. A full tank holds a calculated 33 lb of gas. When putting the tank on, be careful that the various hoses don't get pinched between the tank and the top frame tube. Good wrenching!
