ive searched and read stuff on the forum but im still confused. ok theres the little thing in the middle with wires and plugs and stuff, then theres 2 tubes. do i just clamp the 2 tubes and unscrew that middle thing with the wires and stuff? or wtf?

im suppose to be getting it painted so i gotta figure this out ha ha

 

Do you have a pic? If I remember correctly all you have to do is unplug the fuel pump harness which should be by the frame on the left side of the bike and then unscrew the main fuel line bolt which is on the right side of the bike. All those other hoses are vents and you shouldn't have to worry about it. Just remember not to lose the fuel line bolt like me and then have to buy a new one from Honda and wait even longer to put your bike back together

 

well heres some pics...

these are the 2 hoses that dont seem to lead anywhere...


and this is the thing all hooked in to the bottom that i have no idea what to do with...

 

The 2 hoses that don't go any where are the vent hoses and over flow hoses. The manual says you have to remove them but I can not remember if I did or not. If you do just be sure to label them somehow so you know where the go. The other 2 are going to be your main fuel line and fuel return. You will have to disconnect those. As for all the wiring that should be pretty easy, follow where it goes and it should lead you to a 3 prong black connector on the left side of the bike like right on the frame. Disconnect that and you should be good to go.

 

ok ive got everything disconnected but one thing... the tube thats held down by this gold thing


am i suppose to just unscrew the gold part to take it off? and what should i use to get it off?

 

When I painted my tank, I removed all of the little bolts around that gold plate and just pulled the entire fuel pump out. Then you won't need to disconnect the fuel hose (or worry about your pump getting painted.)

 

oops ive already startes taking that gold peice off... is that bad? like is it goin to get messed up in paint

 

As long as you don't get gas on the new paint you'll be fine.
