OK, I'm changing my throttle and idle cables, do I need to raise the tank, or can I snake'm under and avoid all that work? 05/train

 

Sorry for the double post.

 

gary-

i had to remove my tank

worst part is draining the gas as there is always a little left in their

if i remeber correctly there are a few clips that hold them to the frame under the tank so i dont really think fishing them through is an option

hope to see you next sunday!

Thanks Glenn, I'll be there for sure the 10th. Did a ride this morning with sinner and his buddy Doug. Nice ride down 520.

 

I already had my tank off when I did mine. But perhaps you could just loosen the front bolt a bit to allow it to pivot and remove the back bolt; then lift the back of the tank and block it with a 2x4 or something. You may have to disconnect the fuel line, but that doesn't require draining the tank.

Not sure if that would give you enough clearance, but just an idea.

I replaced the throttle and idle cables on my Standard without taking off the tank. I just fed them through to the carb. Might be different if you have EFI.
