My computer was down yesterday and I must have spent 2 hours trying to unplug the fuel line while working under the tank with a mirror. Got the Mac back today and hooked it up, found Paul's video and I'll spend 5 minutes in the morning removing my tank,. Thank you very much, It is one of the best RUclips videos I've seen, info is right on the money, video quality is excellent and sound is great. EXCELLENT!
Cannot thank you enough for this. Eben for those who do not have the exact same setup, the way that you go through this is instructive enough to make it applicable to other situations/configurations. Saved me lots of trial and error.
Have to add my thanks for the excellent instructions on tank removal. I’ve watched others but was always unsure about how to remove the fuel line. This video makes it crystal clear. Great job.
Great video. Used this video and your video on emptying the tank of fuel to remove the tank from my 2011 T100 - perfect, no damage, no spilt fuel. Saved me time and prevented me damaging anything.
Good stuff! Just had a scary moment where my 2012 Triumph scrambler started spewing gas out while riding on the freeway, and losing power a bit. Immediately killed the bike and coasted to the side. Towed home and pulled the tank and that clip was completely loose. Last service to check the valves the shop must have failed to secure it. I was able to push back in and lock the plastic tab just like you showed. Thanks for the clear video on this process.
Excellent video ! I am removing tank for first time and did not understand the orange clip/fuel line removal even after checking many other posts and a couple videos. Yours is tremendous for the detail in each step and clearly explained. You made my day!
Extremely helpful! Thanks so much! I have to remove the tank off my 95' Thunderbird 900 and they basically have the same configuration. I couldn't find anything online and this is the closest thing to it! Really appreciate you posting this!
Great video Paul keep them coming. I fitted a 12v auxiliary socket to my Bonne, wish I'd seen your video first, however I used the same method to remove the tank and connect to the electrics. Just a correction on the specification, the fuel tank capacity on the +2009 EFI models is 12 litres. 4 litres or so is lost to make room for the fuel pump and filter. I know as I inadvertently ran my 2010 model dry, all it took to fill was just over 12 litres.
Paul are you a professional educator? I ask b/c you are so well organized, speak clearly and completely, factor in verbal and behavioral redundancy, that every task is understandable. Makes me think that I could successfully undertake any DIY project that you narrated and demonstrated. You definitely have a gift. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! I used this to help me understand how to take the tank off my 07 T100. I do have a petcock, so I fortunately didn't have to drain the tank. After putting the tank back on, I now leak fuel from the overflow (vent) tube when I try to add fuel. Any ideas why?
Super video, very clear with all the fine details and close ups. Thank you! I just got a used 2012 Bonneville and wanted to check the spark plugs. They are not so easy to reach with the tank on. Also, this is useful as I too intend to plug the GPS in, I did not know there is an AUX connector. Very smart. Question: which seat do you have? it looks much more padded than mine.
Great video, mechanic, cameramen, and spokesman. Don't let the haters keep you from making more viddies. For all those that gave this a 👎you can have two 🖕🖕.
BTW I simple connected to the stock Triumph wiring connector by means of a pair of shrink wrapped 6.3mm male spade crimp on terminals. Wiring colour codes are as you'd expect black -12v earth and purple +12v live.
London certainly has lots to offer , I'm a country /small-town guy myself so its too busy for me ! If you make it over again make sure you travel , we have some surprisingly beautiful scenery / villages / castles etc !! All the best.
Thanks for the video. I need to access the relay to check why my pump's not running after many months idle. I do hope it's not the brain being too brainy ;-)
Thank you John for the positive feedback. No, I am not an educator. I'm just one of these guys who likes to understand how everything works that we use in life. I watched a lot of other videos and I thought that I can do that as well, and voila. Just lucky I guess :)
I'm not sure. This is the first bike I have ever owned and only had it 2 months when I made this video. I don't know any details about other bikes. Sorry.
Super video. Your careful illustrations and verbal clarity are far above average leaving few questions unanswered. I do have one, however. I own an almost identical 2010 Bonneville. Is it true that Triumph attaches a few male auxiliary T connectors near the female connector or are they only obtainable through a Triumph dealer?
I have never seen any male connectors that came with the bike. You would probably need to get them online somewhere to match. I just used a regular spade connector to go into the wire that I needed on the female connector. That worked for me. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Great video. I have one question: did you empty the tank before removal? If you did it, do you have any tutorial? Thank you I'm sorry if you already said it in the video, this is not my native language and I didn't get it
Great video. Clear instructions, unhurried and excellent close up shots. Many thanks.

Thanks for close-ups that were reasonably well lit and in focus.
Big props, had my wife watch this with me so she could give an assist undoing all the connections while I held the tank and this made it super easy.
Best video! I wish all videos on RUclips were by you.

Bravo. A fine example of RUclips being useful!
I appreciate your videos. Thank you.
These are all incredibly empowering videos. Very professionally shot and edited and very usable.
Used this method and excellent results. About to go in again to remove the sat nav and came back for a refresher. Nice one

Thank you Sir! Was stuck right at the gas hose part while taking my Thruxton apart for some plastidip! Great Video!

Used this guide to remove the fuel hose from the tank, thanks for great explanation
Excellent tutorial, I'm ready to pull my tank for the AI removal. Thank you for taking the time to help others.
Thank you, man. That was so perfectly clear. I'm removing my tank to have it painted and you have made me very comfortable about doing so.

Great video! I feel way more confident now when I go to relocate my ignition. Thanks!

Top video, I now know everything to take my tank off. I want to fit A GPS to the T120, so need to route electrical cables under the tank.
This just helped me a great deal... I know it's an old video now but very helpful thank you.
Thank you so much !! I needed this video and your so quick, to the point , but also informative !
Thanks Paul, very helpful. I have a Speedmaster and I'm hoping its a similar process. Need to get the tank off to install an AI removal kit.
Excellent video! very well explained.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Exactly what I needed.
That is what I call a pro video. Thank you .
Hi, Thanks for this well made video. I have been hanging upside down trying to get the blasted quick release valve off my 2011 TB Storm.

Great video and instruction!
Nicely done. A big help, thanks for doing this how-to.
You are very welcome. Ride safe and have fun.
Now this is how to make a how to video! Thanks so much.

Question: which seat do you have? it looks much more padded than mine.
It's called the "King and Queen". Much more comfortable than the stock.
@@PaulPomerleau thank you

Just what I needed. Thank you!

Thank you, very helpful!
great video really well done fantastic
Thank you from England .. wasn't sure how fuel line connecter worked .. I do now !
You are very welcome. I have been to London, loved it there, wish I could go back. Ride safe.
London certainly has lots to offer , I'm a country /small-town guy myself so its too busy for me !
If you make it over again make sure you travel , we have some surprisingly beautiful scenery / villages / castles etc !! All the best.
I pushed the buttons, still hose won't come off. Can I use pliers to push buttons in further????
Yes, gently so not to break anything. They also sell special pliers for removing fuel clips.
Thanks for this video! Removing my gas tank for the AI removal was made a *lot* easier because of this and the gas siphon video.
Glad it helped you out Jason. Have fun and be safe.
Really good video, well done!🇬🇧
My fuel tank kept dripping fuel. Any reason why? Bad fuel pump or I didn't do it properly?
Thanks for the video. I need to access the relay to check why my pump's not running after many months idle. I do hope it's not the brain being too brainy ;-)

Would removal of a fuel tank on a 2012 Triumph Speedmaster be similar?
Thank you Paul!

excellent! thank you sir!
Very helpful and well explained Thanks
Great video. I have one question: did you empty the tank before removal? If you did it, do you have any tutorial? Thank you
I'm sorry if you already said it in the video, this is not my native language and I didn't get it
Yes I did. Here is my video on how I do it. ruclips.net/video/B2bAHfXjb08/видео.html
@@PaulPomerleau Got it! thank you!!!
Great video presentation thank you.
Does this also apply to older motorcycles such as a 1980 honda? I need to remove the gas tank to replace my ignition coils.
I am not sure as I have never worked on that bike. Hopefully someone on here will chime in to answer. Thanks for watching.
This was perfect, thank you so much!
Excellent video mate! Nice and clear explanation. Love the Bonnie, and will have one before long!
Off to watch some more! Subbed :-)
Excellent video ! Thanks
