It's a breeze! Remove the seat and take out the two mounting bolts at the back of the tank. Remove the vent tube (bottom left rear of tank) and the fuel line. Then slide the tank back slightly and lift it off.
I like to prop the back of the tank up with a piece of wood (about 25mm thick) to make it easier to access the vent tube and fuel line. I use duckbill pliers for the fuel hose clamp. Be sure you have the petcock turned off first!
The whole process takes about 5 minutes.
Keep an eye on the front mounting rubbers when you're ready to put the tank back on. It's easy to miss their slots if you aren't careful.

Also, It's a good idea to keep a folded shop rag between the tank and the tree just in case you slide it a little too far forward. paint chips are a biotch...

Okay so I've filled her up now.
I forgot to check what the tank felt like before I removed it.
When I had put it back I kind of wiggled it a little bit to see if
it was on properly, as far as I can tell it is. There is however a slight
little wiggle in the tank. Is that normal?
