    Are my fuel lines quick release and how do you remove them?

    Arrrgghh!
     
  2. Squeeze the black ring on the connector and yank the lines until you have fuel all over your valve cover, rear wheel, floor etc.

  3. Ah ha. Thanks.

    Do you think smoking would help too?
     
  4. I was being serious. :Finger: Yes, they are quick connects. They are removed by squeezing the black ring on the connector. Then you pull the connector out of the flange on the tank. Some fuel will be spilled since the connectors are not dry-break.

  5. Thanks again.

    I was joking too.
     
  6. Do not do it just after a ride when the engine is still hot!...for obvious reasons.

    They can be more difficult to remove than pushing them back in, smear a little Vaseline on the tiny o rings on the male connectors to ease further removal, they should locate back in with a click.

  7. Before you start the bike turn on the ignition a couple of times and check for leaks.
