James if there is a next time take the throttle bodies off but do not unhook the throttle cables. You can then hang it from the right hand handle bar. You can also change the oil tank fittings while the engine is in the frame holding it for you. Just a couple things to make it easier. When you get back to the US I am sure someone will try to attain your technical services.

Good one Les glad it worked out for you. How much did the dealer charge you for the internal work?
 
@warp9.9 I imagine we did a lot more work than we needed too! Wish I'd change my oil tank ring seal while I had it apart. I think it's leaking a little now, but nothing worth tearing back into. I'll take care of it when back in the states since I'll be changing the TPS then anyway. Speaking of which, I've got the secondaries removed, is there any benefit to changing the secondary TPS? I know it's still sending air/fuel signals, but would think they're virtually useless?
 
Tank can be fixed while the engine is in the bike. In fact the hardest thing I have done on the bike yet was change the thermostat with the whole bike in tact, the throttle bodies and oil tank to boot. I would just check the Secondary TPS but it probably id not bad since all it does is monitor the plate opening completely. Its not like it moves as much as when they did in the OEM tune.
 
Cool! Definitely won't be pulling the engine, but pretty sure I can't get the tank out without removing the throttle bodies. Just figured it's easier to wait on next oil change and do the TPS at the same time when refitting the throttle bodies?

If you can remove the oil tank without removing the throttle bodies, then make sure you let us know how.

The TPS can be changed easily in a couple of minutes, despite what the manual says. You will need a Torx bit to unscrew it, but do not use a socket driver to turn it. Get a small spanner , or wench, and use it on the hex shaped part of the torx socket, while pressing the torx bit into the bolt. Don't over-tighten it when putting it back in. It just needs to be firm enough to hold it.
