Hi Martin,
I think this is a well known problem for us all.
My expierience showed me to do it as follows:
- dismount right plastic (Seitendeckel)
- dismount one screw of the brake liquid box and put it away from its place
- take a tool (Zange) to put away the fixing ring of the fuel line
- take again same tool (Zange) to disconnect the fuel line from the tank
- know start dismounting the tank
For me it is much more easier to do it in that way because while your
working on the fuel line the tank believes in its fixed position.
Just an idea of me, try it if you like.

Hi @ riders,
does anybody knows a good trick how to ease (dis)mount of the fuel tank on
an rd07 1994. My problem always is the fuel line, I normaly lift up the
tank a bit, remove the fuel line from the tank (squeeze fingers, autsch !),
then dismount tank. Mounting same way reverse, first put on fuel tank, lift
him a bit and then trying to mount fuel line again (hurt fingers a lot
!!!).
Now I tried to let the fuel line on and parted the fuel line at the fuel
pump. Idea was not too good, when I removed the tank with fuel line on, I
cut the fuel line a bit on the frame...uiuiui
So, does anybody knows a nondestructive, easy and fast method ?
BTW: whats the inner diameter of the fuel line, need to buy a new one now,
forgott the old piece at home :-((
regards, Martin
