I need to change a petrol tank on a V2 race bike as it is leaking (weeping would be a better word.)

Is there a good guide anywhere on this or any help to suggest ? New seal/s to buy / replace etc.

Any techniques in getting out the pump without damaging the tank etc.

Many thanks.

Thanks that's very helpful for the air filter, but I already have the tank off, I need to swap the fuel pump over to a replacement tank.

Fuel pump is simple. Just undo bolts and wiggle it free. Never had any drama and never needed any other parts. If the weep is from that area then bang a new gasket kit on.

edit. Part number 69926441A
