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 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.

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?

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

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_Karar2 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.
