Raising the Fuel tank on my R3T

Thanks Fellars ,I would have just reefed it up thinking the instruments came up with the tank and tried to disconnect the wires from underneath

Be ready on the first start, my experience has been strange things with the speedometer till you ride it some!

Naah, Finland perfected the mobile phone too, we're just naturally technologically superior.

Well, not really. While Nokia implemented the first successful public commercial cellular network and later played a part in advancing and refining the capabilities of cell phones, Bell Labs, Motorola, Ericsson & other Swedish tech Cos., AT&T, Sprint, Apple and others all have a stake in what we know as cell phones today. Marty Cooper of Motorola is widely credited to be the father of modern cellphones with his DynaTac and Motorola's StarTac was the first major handheld in "wide" use. Most of the R&D and heavy lifting for what has become a generic service/device for billions of people globally can be traced to the USA, not Finland.

Remove bearclaw, remove seat, unbolt the three bolts holding the cluster, lift the cluster carefully to the left, reach in under and unplug the plug underneath, lift cluster off the bike and put somewhere safe, unbolt the two bolts in the front of the tank holding it down, lift the tank, grab the prop from the clamps where it is to the right, on the frame above the engine, wedge the tank up, you're done.

If the rubber gasket under the cluster comes loose, that's no big deal, it's just a bit fiddly to put back on before you replace the cluster, but hardly the end of the world if you're careful.

(Though I'm glad I can ditch mine now that I bought the tank bib from Mustang!)

Here's a video but text is in German.

The original technology for cell phones was invented during WWII by a Hollywood movie star, and the first sales demonstration and mobile phone call was in 1946. Special kudos to the first one to name her.

I'm guessing she was German and the only female German (?) star I'm aware of then was Marlena Dietrich.
