Gents,
How easy is it to remove and replace the petrol tank on cinque? Any tips, help. ideas would be really appreciated.
 
It's not too hard, took me and a mate a couple of hours to replace it. Check out hayne's as usual before you do anything though!!! You'll have to lower the exhaust off the mounts to get the tank out aswell.
 
:yeahthat:

If they have never been undone they are almost guaranteed to snap. An overnight spray with penetrating oil might help. If they do snap then the job immediately goes into PITA mode, but it is doable, you will most likely need a tap (or is it a dice?, I can never remember which is which) set...

Cheers,

Woj
 
Oh die, not dice, thanks mate, will try to remember that ;)

I think Skinz does not lie (y) although I did remove the exhaust from its rear hanger, after conferring with my brother we figured it was not really that necessary (much simpler though). I think we even did some tank adjustments later on without touching the exhaust... /Woj
