When I do certain jobs, I never know when I'm coming back to them, and I easily can make mistakes. Especially if the job is new to me. I was scared to pull the tank off of my new Rocket, so i set out like I usually do, with my numbered baggies and went at it. I made a list of my steps, and my small parts coming off got put in numbered baggies. Attached is a list of my steps, copied from my Word document.
2020 and Later Rocket 3 Tank Removal
siphon gas out of tank (siphon is in bottom drawer of tool cabinet)
Fuel pump fuse, 7.5 amps, pulled out. Bag five. Pushed starter button until bike stalled to get fuel pressure out of fuel rail.
battery removal b.1
Clear small windscreen removed b.2
R black plastic mount for screen, thin tapered end goes down- b3
L Black plastic mount for screen removed, and flyscreen take off. bag Number four
Stock harness cover, just in front of handle bar clamp removed. It is located between handle bar and front screen. The screws are accessed through access holes visible at upper portion of wires and stuff after flyscreen is removed. The screws are #3 hex head.
GPS taken off (not applicable)
Removal of ram mount at handlebar, Bag seven (not applicable)
Loosened instrument clamp, then tilted the instrument cluster upward and towards the front of the bike, away from the tank, allowing room to lift the tank when the time came. (Torque is 6.6 lb-ft)
Removal of Allen bolt at front of tank, Bag eight
Little black cap over the screw at the rear of the tank (nipple cap), removed. bag nine
Bolt and round cross piece that goes to the strap at the rear of the tank removed, Bag 10
Long linear aluminum strap removed, placed on workbench
Long pin bolt, goes through rear tank pivot, 8 mm, the head of the bolt is on the left. Also pulled out the metal sleeve, pulling it out from the left side, the sleeve is what the bolt sits in. Bag 11
Undid rubber hose on right side of under tank, by raising the front of the tank upward. This hose connects to the charcoal canister
Had to remove screw from the stupid on off switch located at front aspect of L side cover, so I could get to the fuel rail connector plug on the left side of tank . bag 12
Pushed the lock clip back on the quick connect fuel line, left side of tank, and used fuel line disconnect pliars to squeeze each side of the connector, allowing it to come off.
Electrical plug undone under tank: the tank portion of the line gets removed by going forward with the male piece; there is a single tang on top of the plug that gets lifted up, allowing me to pull the male portion towards front of bike.
Tank Lifted off
