removing the fuel tank?

[Aussie Niko]

Hi guys do I need any special tools to get the tank out??
How do you disconnect the top 2 fuel lines??
Trying to get to the airbox.

Fuel line removal tool. Available at most auto parts stores-- even in Australia.

don't need to pull the tank to get out the airbox if that is what you are trying to do. i did this the first time also and it was a PITA. best way to get to and remove the airbox is to come out the clutch side. pull the secondary clutch and clutch cover out of the way and you will be able to get the three individual pieces of the airbox out. but, you still need the fuel line hose tool b/c both fuel lines need to be disconnected and move out of the way to get the airbox out.

Thanks guys, found the tool on ebay, once I get the lines off is it a matter of putting them back on and starting the sled or do I need to pressurize the fuel system again?

Nothing to pressurize, just pull the rope a few times and it'll fire up.
