I’m going to keep this video in my back pocket. At some point I’m going to replace my tank, bought a new one after my accident. This looks easy enough, hopefully I can do it. Great video, you explained it very well.

I have actually had to do this already, but it was nice to see how you do it. I use a wooden block to support the rear of the tank, but it as a damned tight job, to complete. I also used strips of making tape to protect the frame and hold the pipes out of harms way.

Why did you need to do this? I’m curious to hear other reasons people do this… Stay tuned as this is a start of a series of maintenance items. (That and I noticed I never did this video yet… smh) As for protection, Masking tape works. Rags do as well. Thanks for the feedback as always B0M0A0K! Appreciate your time.

@@SLIGHT_ My reason for doing this is that I was running wiring from my PDM60 up to the front of the bike for new lights and a power source for my Garmin GPS. I put all cabling inside automotive webbed cable protection. I also created a general earthing point so I didn't need to run cabling all the way back to the other end (under the seat) of the bike.

@@SLIGHT_ You didn't mention depressurizing the fuel line. I see it wasn't necessary. However, I went through the procedure to remove the tank for positioning a signal cancelling module. With the key on, switched run, pressed start ( after disconnecting power to the pump ) the motor turned over but didn't start. That indicated that there wasn't any pressure. Why take any chances, right! I enjoy your videos Slight.

Do you have a video how to change the SWITCH ASSY STARTER ENGINE STOP & HAZARD for 2022 rebel 500?

Unfortunately I do not. Kill switch issues?

Do you have any tips to get the vent tubes back on when you’re reinstalling the tank? My big ol’ chubby fingers make it near impossible to get the tubes on. I tried needle nose pliers but don’t want to damage the tubes. Any help would be appreciated, awesome video man!

@SLIGHT_ Жыл бұрын

The needle nose set I use in these cases are compound action (2 joints. Helps in tight places. see: amzn.to/3p1StWZ a light clear silicone spray can help as well. (only use if all other options fail) It is a tight spot, right? appreciate the comment! Hope this helps.

That's great tutorial video ! Thank you very much. Btw I was wondering that , if I can replace rebel 500 fuel tank with 1100 fuel tank (for larger capacity) .

Unfortunately this is not an option. They don’t mount in the same spots.

followed this tutorial and got the tank removed. Do you happen to have a video on how to remove the radiator motor fan assembly? Thank you.

@SLIGHT_ Жыл бұрын

I unfortunately do not. Only rad related one on the channel at the moment is the coolant flush. Why are you having to remove this?

How to remove a stuck fuel filter in the fuel tank of a cmx 250? I am afraid it will break in side the tank.

@SLIGHT_ 2 ай бұрын

Soaking the filter then using a pick (hook or 90) or a screw driver trying to get under it. Takes time but I’m sure you’ll get it out. Have you found rust in the tank?

@@SLIGHT_ Yep! I have got some rust out and cut my thumb so far. I have been working on it for about 3 hours and hope to get most of the rust and get the broken in half filter out. Thanks! Will try to put on an outside filter when I get through getting out the broken one out of my tank!

Really struggled to get my tank back on! And now theres a little wobble in it. And i think too big a gap? How do you know when its hopked back on right?

@SLIGHT_ Жыл бұрын

The tank does have slight movement as it’s on rubber grommets. Yet without seeing this I couldn’t tell you. If the grommets are in, bolt fastened it should be good. If you’d like send me an email

Would this process work for the 2018 rebel as well? You mentioned that the 2020 and up rebel models that the connector was in a different place

@SLIGHT_ Жыл бұрын

The harness for the older models are closer to the top. Similar… just not exactly the same. Same idea though.

Hi there. I have a 2017 rebel and it's been sitting over a year and I trying to get to fire up. I replaced the fuel injector but still no fire. Also I'm getting a trouble code from the fuel reader that's blinking from inward to outward. I couldn't find nothing online. This video seem to be a foot in the door to get this bike running. I most appreciated if you have any ideas what the problem with the bike.

@SLIGHT_ 5 ай бұрын

It’s really hard to diagnose issues like this via a message. Although… you can test to see if you have spark. Fuel is probably bad, especially if you didn’t have a stabilizer in it (even more so if it had ethanol content) additional water in the lines via the ethanol content, could make things even more difficult. Also… can I safely assume it’s cranking over?

@IB_Karar 2 ай бұрын

I’m having the very same situation and issue. Is there a way I could maybe contact you via a video call? That would be absolutely so helpful and I would be able to show you the situation first hand. Please let me know as with the original comment was saying, I’ve looked online and cannot find anything on it unfortunately.
