Default Rocker peeps,...

This is probably a dumbazz question, but,...doing the tank lift, and loosening the rear bolt on the tank,...is that the bolt that's up inside the tunnel area, after the seats off? How the hell duz ya git to it? Or do ya just loosen the rear console nut? I'm confused.

Yep, that is the bolt to loosen up dont need to remove it completely just where u have travel... Post up some pics of your scoot before and after... Keep in mind the tank does fit snuggly on the back bone so it will require a little force and wiggling to get it to move the required inches you want...

Remove the rear console nut (as well as the whole console for that matter) and the rear tank nut is on the same stud.
