i bought a bunch of l.e.d's and was going to route them threw out the bike but cant seem to figure out how to get the tank off! the owners manual says let a quilified yamaha machinc do the air filter change so there must be some kinda trick to it if anyone can help me out please let me know

There's an attachment point under the nose of the seat. The front of the tank is held in place by a bracket and two bolts accessible from under the tank.

Also remember there's a secondary fuel tank under the seat, so be aware of those connections.

thanx nj i got it off beware its not for the faint of heart, i figured out the hard way that you want to be on reserve efore you do it so the tank is empty(gas everywhere :becca

AO if you look under the bracket that latches the seat down there is a junction in both fuel lines, take the rubber cap off I think it takes a flat head screwdriver close the valves and disconnect the hoses. No gas everywhere, good luck.
