I started taking things apart yesterday.
Didn't get as far as removing the tank but what I did do was unplug all the connections. I stopped when I tried to disconnect the cross-over pipe at the front of the tank. I've got a quick release connector fitted so it should have been an easy job.
It started leaking fuel, so I quickly re-connected it and decided to try again the next time I'm out. Hopefully it will work and the valves will stop any more petrol escaping when I've got room to pull it apart completely. This time the two halves were still connected so I'm hoping that's the problem.
So, now I've disconnected all the wiring and guess what? I should have taken a picture (or even remembered what the reading was) of the odometer. When I fit a new speedo the mileage will be set at "0". So I should have some proof of what the bike has actually done.
Especially if I want a dealers stamp at the 5K service.
