Quick help for takin the fuel tank off...

[bsrhkr]

hi guys! im in the proccess of takin the fuel tank off to check for an air leak on the carbs from the inlet rubbers, i got all the botls out, now i need to take the tank off or just twist it around so it can sit on the seat. theres a pipeline coming from the fuel switch to the fuel pump and its too short to be twisted around. im i sposed to take it off or what? and any think else needs to be done or taken off while im at it ?? btw i switched the fuel tap on OFF.
any info will be great. thanks

All I can offer is that you visually check the rubbers for cracks/damage and the sealing o rings for damage even replace them regardless

Also a little sealer may well help when replacing them.

it's a bit tricky getting a good look at them when the bike is running.

Oh and the older type carb rubbers with the ally ring are pants..............throw em away and replace

the rubbers are like new. its a 2000 reg zxr so its ok, but where are the sealing o rings lol

The rubbers bolt onto the cylinder head there is a little rubber o ring seal between the carb rubber and the head
