Can I just 'move' a petrol tank to the side?

Yeah, the tank comes off pretty easily....it's just those fuel line connectors that can be a pain if they've not been upgraded.... :roll:

I'd be inclined to try to drain the tank as much as possible first.....just incase...... :wink:

You'll also need to disconnect the electrical connector to the pump plate and the 2 overflow/vent pipes.....but if you prop the rear of the tank up a bit you should be able to get to them.

The first time I took the tank off my Speed 4 I found the remains of a mouse nest between the airbox and the underside of the tank......and the little b'sterd had gnawed a hole through the airbox......not a big hole, so I managed to plug it..... :shock:

Good luck with it...... 8-)

I've no paperwork to say they have, so I guess we'll just see :P

I'm tempted, considering how easy it looked on the video I saw.

Yea the manual does mention said connectors, I can't specifically remember which but basically there's 3, remove them all.

Thanks :popcorn:
