Next, start the bike, disconnect the fuel pump while running to drain the fuel rail. After it dies, crank it again for a couple seconds to be sure.



After you are done cranking the bike, put rags in the intake to prevent anything from being dropped in them.
Then, disconnect the fuel rail, be sure to plug/cap the lines so no shit gets in them.



Disconnect the throttle cables.



Disconnect all the other wiring. Horn wires, O2 sensors, speed sensor, main ECM cable, clutch cable, rear brake line...

Then, remove the 7 bolts connecting the frame/tank to the engine (yes, just 7) 1. Shock to swingarm 2 & 3 front K brackets to front of engine (radiators must be loose to get to them) 4 & 5 Rear area of frame/tank 6 & 7 Further up, on the right side there is a pinch bolt that must be loosened first.
Once all the bolts are removed, start lifting the frame SLOWLY to ensure that all the wiring has been disconnected properly.
