Pulling the Fuel Tank

Blueraven · 03-15-2011, 07:40 PM

Hello all. I almost had a fire on my bike because SOME F**King stupid idiot did not FUSE the wires that goes to the radio. He wired it up directly to the battery. WHAT A F**KING IDIOT.

Now that my rant is done , I have to pull the fuel tank. I did read a thread back in Aug 10 about pulling it. It was helpfull. I do have a question. The Service Manual suggests using rubber hose to stop fuel from leaking from the tank. I have completely drained the tank. Do I need to worry about fuel leaking from the tank or will it just be residue?

Sorry about my rant. Had to get it off my chest.
