Can anyone post some screenshots of how to remove the fuel tank on the gen 4? As you can't buy the workshop manual anymore it makes things a bit more of a guessing game nowadays for me.

From 4:00 roughly
Remove tank cover
Remove the seat
Unscrew 2 bolts that hold the tank (left/right)
Unscrew 1 long bolt that holds the tank under the seat
Remove 2 rubber hoses that connect to the tank
Lift front side of the tank
Lift rear side of the tank, and move it a little bit back, which gives enough clearance to slide a hand underneath to disconnect 3 connectors
Fuel like is easy, there is a button to release
The other two are annoying, I usually use a flat screwdriver to unplug the top of comnector

FYI... When putting the tank back on, you need to slide the back end of the ECU into the two prongs at the front of the tank before you insert the front bolt for the ECU. You can check if it's all seated correctly as the ECU floats and doesn't touch anything if you look underneath the ECU. The ECU doesn't like vibration and it's easy not to realise how it seats. J
