I moved the gas tank to the left and placed on a box. I was able to change the sparkplugs and install the patrick racing big air kit. I saved myself a good 30 mins of work, thank you.
Nice video you've done. Tip for you when using the ratchet, to help protect from accidental paint or dent damage, cut an old water hose or automotive heater hose to fit over the handle of the wrench. Heater hose also works great for gripping to help greasy hands from slipping off the handle. What a chore though just to change the filter, bet a lot of them never get changed.
Great videos and great detail. I had the honor of breaking the fuel line that comes off the left side of the tank. The hose was brittle apparently and snapped. Full tank of fuel too I might add. I went ahead and replaced both fuel hoses coming off the tank. The bike is a 2006 and I pulled the tank 3/2024, so it was expected I guess. Thanks again for the great content!
I have a 09 raider. Needs a tune-up. Thanks for the video. Excellent example. I've been searching for days for an in-depth tutorial, and you nailed it. Thanks again!
Ray- thanks for the video. Very thorough and worked well for me . Changed out the airfilter without a problem! Its funny how people will be lazy and not disco the fuel lines when it literally takes an extra 5 mins to do it right and avoid stressing the hoses.
Nice video. Just to advices for the home mechanic: Always keep on of your hands at the end of the ratchet/allen this way when it touches painted surfaces it wont scratch anything Always use force to pull, not push, on tools, that way when fasteners (bolts, screws..) give you wont fall in to the bike Oh and very cute kids!
Very nice two video's. Just purchased a '06 Roadliner w/34K and wanting to change out the filter. I might just swing it out of the way but hopefully it won't stress the hoses. I'll have to look at it when I get to that point. Thanks again, big help!
awesome job on the video...thanks for putting that together...didn't realize that it had that goofy security screw on the side....so I ordered a set. your video just saved me some aggravation and a lot of extra time running to get a tool to take the security screw out...and I didn't know about the fuel shut offs valves......nice job, thanks for posting
This is one of the best videos I've seen in a very long time. Good job. I bought a 06 Roadliner yesterday and was scouring the net for what was behind the covers...under the tank, etc... Nice. I didn't get a manual. Or it could be under the seat!
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you found it helpful! If you're looking for a Roadliner manual, you can snag them pretty cheap off eBay or pull down a digital copy from ManuasLib: www.manualslib.com/manual/659447/Yamaha-Roadliner-Xv1900av.html#manual Happy riding!
thanks i just watched your video and it was exactly what i needed. I want to change my plugs so i hope i can figure the rest out on my own cause there are no videos on how to do that.
If you are not doing something that requires taking off the gas tank, there should be no need to disconnect the fuel lines. If you are taking off the tank, you can avoid disconnecting the fuel lines by swinging the tank to the side like I demonstrate (somewhat) in the video. Just be aware that the tank is still connected and set it on a stable surface accordingly.
I am hoping this is the same as the Raider. Everything looks the same. I am installing a baron Big Air Kit as well as a Cobra Fi2000 tuner. The security screw on side cover threw a hitch into things though. Might have to try making tool or dremel the tit out of the screw. Great video and thanks.
xmanrigger, I believe that the Raider's are very similar but I'm not 100% certain. For the security screw, check eBay or a tool shop like Harbor Freight for a cheap security bit set.
Hope when you put in K&N filter you left air box lid off (using two large fender washers to hold exposed K&N filter in place).... Otherwise you gained Zero performance/power over stock. Not a single hp (gontonIvams Performance website.. He tests every configuration of air intakes)

Great instructional video! Let us know if you ever post one for changing plugs!

Had more trouble putting the stuff back where it goes than taking it off. But your video was a big help
Great video! Did not damage my tank.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks for this video. I've found it to be one of the most useful in all of YT. I have referenced it several times when working on my Strat.
Awesome job, and cute assistants!!
Very detailed video! I know it's petty but a 12 point socket is more likely to round off bolt head than a 6 point.

The manual was under seat!~ So got lucky. Learning all kinds of new things. Nice bikes they are. Thanks again for reply and your helpful ways. :)
Thanks for the vid! It made taking the tank off my Stratoliner a snap!
Thanks a million, Ray
thanks i just watched your video and it was exactly what i needed. I want to change my plugs so i hope i can figure the rest out on my own cause there are no videos on how to do that.
Did you have to fully remove the tank to get to them?
Thank u!! I've been do scared to do this but now seeing this is a relief!!! Thank u for the vid!!
Changing plugs must be a blast!! UG!
Nice Vid, thank you. :)
Great video, helped me get my tank off👍
Just watched for like, fourth time. Really good job on this video. Thank you.
Thank you for posting. Would know what size security bit you used for taking off the side cover plate. Thanks.
Great detailed tutorial!Cheers, Terry
Dobra robota!! Piękna maszyna i bardzo pomocny film instruktażowy!

Again, great video! Thanks! I do have a question. Where can we find the security torx bit for the side cover?
You can buy security bit sets on eBay, Amazon and even Harbor Freight
www.harborfreight.com/security-bit-set-33-pc-68459.html
This is good thanks almost the same for the raiders as well.
Thank you for posting!
Beautiful bike! Can you tell me whats that black switch (i think) on te chrome part of the fuel tank? It looks factory... Is it? What is it for??
Ricardo Jorge that is the trip mileage reset button.
really???? Mine is in the handlebar, on the right fist. Thanks
Thank you
I’m removing the Stratoliner Deluxe fairing. Do I still need to disconnect the fuel lines, if I’m removing the power cables for the fairing only?
If you are not doing something that requires taking off the gas tank, there should be no need to disconnect the fuel lines.
If you are taking off the tank, you can avoid disconnecting the fuel lines by swinging the tank to the side like I demonstrate (somewhat) in the video. Just be aware that the tank is still connected and set it on a stable surface accordingly.

Where did you get that tank bra? Do you happen to have a link?
It is one from Yamaha. Unfortunately I do not have a part number.
