let the modifying begin.....

Bearing in mind I've not touched my bike yet with spanners, thought I'd ask first.

I've picked up a 749R tank. I believe it to be over 20 litres vs the standard 15.5 on the 999s. Anyone know the actual capacity?
(I know I'll know once I fit it and fill it.......)

In removing the tank:

1. Two pipes connected at the front behind the steering damper are breathers I guess? pls confirm.

2. Fuel pump connectors are a squeeze and pull off. Does the fuel pump then seal or will the tank start to drain?

3. Looks to me like the tank and seat/tail all come off as one assembly. Have i got that right?

4. Anyone with a 749r know what the dome head bolt is screwed into the top surface of the tank, front left? Something to do with racing? Alternative breather? I understand that WSS rules were tighter on mods, so the 749r is closer to the racer than the 999r (as WSB allowed more changes....).


cheers
