Lifting gas tank on a 2020 GT

[nytrox]

a l'endroit ....désolé

Removing the old tank takes all of 5 minutes if you are slow. No prop rod on this one?

This is kind of amusing considering how easy it was to lift the tank on the old models. I hope the connector to the fuel rail isn’t the same as the one on the water cooled twins. It’s a major pain to get it off and put it back.

Unfortunately the connector is the same as my 2018 Speedy... releasing the pressure first makes it a breeze... wish I had known about that part when I disassembled my Speedy!

Just uploading some images of fuel hose(clamp) location on the bike if someone is interested

On my T120 it was a pain to get off and on. I thought mine was broken but the Triumph tech assured me that it would go on but that it took a lot of force and wiggling and that WD-40 would help. It did. Hopefully the nipple on the fuel rail on the R3 is more accommodating.

Wasn't too hard getting it off. Just few good wiggles around.
However its just in a very inconvenient place and hard to get to.
My other bikes take 3 min to remove the tank
Although next time will be easier.
