wilkson +1. You still have the grey 3bond on your gaskets. This time take the black one! also carefully clean and degrease surfaces before re-sealing it.
Should be easy enough. I've taken the tank off to put in a new air filter and that was super easy. I had the subframe off to replace the heat shield on the exhaust and that was super easy too. Four bolts and some wiring harness unplugs and the entire subframe, fairings and all, comes off. I'll try to snap some pics for you though. Gotta wait for the sealant to arrive so it'll be a week or so.
I too have had my tank off to replace the air filter. I am just nervous working on the engine for some reason...thanks
Someone really should do a small walk through on this for those who haven't done it/want to
I have been digging through forums and the internet to hopefully stumble across a video or writeup on this. I can do it, i just know when you start working on things you always run into one problem that others have an easy fix to. I might cancel my Appointment and do it myself.
3bond. Please explain. Is there an issue with it, or...?
DLIT. You should google Pauline Hanson, a former politician in Australia.
She once famously said "Please explain" in an interview with 60 minutes.
