D600 tank removal questions from a noob.

If I remember correctly it's a fuel injected bike, so that usually means an in-tank fuel pump and self-sealing connectors. That means that when you want to remove the tank, you merely disconnect the fuel pipe and little or no fuel escapes.

 

I have a tt600 so I'm assuming the tank removal procedure will be pretty much the same. Having removed the bolts lifting the tank up should reveal two fuel lines, (the bike is fuel injected so we have a flow and a return to a fuel pump unit mounted in the tank), an electrical connection (the low fuel warning light) and a couple of rubber hoses, one being some sort of overflow from the tank itself, the other being the water drain from the fuel filler cap. The rubber hoses and the electrical connection are easily pulled off, that leaves the fuel pipes themselves, have a cloth ready there will be some fuel spilled, (not a vast amount, but best be prepared), press the metal tang on the side of the connector in, and then it should pull off, as it is a pressurised system it's now you get the fuel spillage! The same for the other one, and it's job done. Make a note of which line goes where, on the tt600 they are colour coded, red is the fuel line on the left (as you look fwd) and white is the line on the right, if they are not different colors you may which to mark them with a felt tip or something As it says in all the best manuels reassembly is the reverse of what you have undone, however I would make sure you have two new O rings, one for each connector, the connectors should then push back in with a satisfying click. Hope this helps.
