You may want to include year and model of your bike for some better assistance

When I removed mine I took the bolt off the rear of the tank under the seat and loosened the front tank bolts and lifted it up slightly and put a piece of wood underneath in the rear to keep it lifted for more room. It can be done without lifting it but it's tight and more risk of scratching the tank. Total tank removal is not necessary.
