Yep, it's in-tank and easy removal/install.

Kojiro is your friend. PM him for a copy of service manual.

 

Glad to hear it. Saw plenty of info on tank removal, just nothing beyond that.

 

Gas in the old tank is a pita. Just 5 bolts and use a new O ring. proper torque suggested.

 

This is for my 2012 but it should give you an idea....

 

Its easy. I have the pdf along with some other ones that also describe taking the tank off (snorkel mod). PM me if you need them. If you just need reaussurance then yes it is a very easy process. I believe you might have to use a really long allen in one of the steps. I actually had to go buy some as the ones in the garage were too short.

Eh, Kojiro, nevyn only needs to remove/install the fuel tank (not the airbox).

 

I just replaced my fuel pump. It's very easy to do. Remove old tank off the bike. Drain gas. Remove 5 bolts for fuel pump and remove fuel pump. The o-ring should be still good. If you have a new one on hand use it. If not just re-use the old one.
Honestly the hardest part was reconnecting the hoses to the EVAP can

 

Allen socket set. You then have access to any extensions and/or elbows you may already have.

 

Great. Dealership called and my new tank is in. Will pick it up and install tommorrow. Maybe do a quick tutorial. It seems easy enough. Thanks guys for the manuals and advice. I will let you know how it goes. Will also post pics of the damage. It's not too bad, will be a good surface to practice my airbrushing on.

 

Tank is installed and looks great. Thanks everyone for the advise.

 

Nice.

Plus the crash bars, that will be awesome bada$s bike. Keep the old tank in case you decide to convert your ride into a stunt bike.

 

Nevyn, have you seen this windscreen, would look awesome on the front end of your bike.

I feel like the stock fork legs are so thin on a bike like this, especially with the fairings not covering the uppers. And I thought my old 500 had some thin looking fors lol. Those things are 47mm vs the 41 on the 650.

EDIT: MEant to say/type 37mm.

Bike porn!

That Puig windscreen looks awesome. Not sure where it mounts or how it would fit over my headlight assembly. Plan to eventually build a dual projector vertical headlight that this would look great over.

Blue Sentra
Thanks, with the crash bars the bike will look great. No price yet from the Thai shop though. May have to fabricate something.

 

You did see this ER6N Streetfighter pic right? With dual headlights.

I'm pretty sure it mounts to the forks.

PM thesleeper and ask how it mounts up.

 

Yes I did and I love it. That tail is amazing. I like vertical lights but those are pretty sexy.

 

Pretty sure it's a Ducatti 1098 tail, there's actually a thread on here on how to do it if you are ambitious! http://www.riderforums.com/general-ninja-650r/76363-ducati-1098-tail-swap-10.html
The vertical headlights are awesome if they are projectors IMO.

Check out these site for some headlights and other stuff, they specialize in Streetfighters:

Moto Madness Streetfighters

I love streetfighters, I will build one someday even if when finished, I just park it in my living room to look at. BTW, parking your bike in your living room is great when your a bachelor, but only if your on the first floor! Lol

 

Howdy,

My son got a 2013 Ninja 650 last year. Got a great deal and a sweet bike! This winter he is going through and doing maint service and such. We ran into a issue where we are trying to get the tank off. It is the style I believe like your nevyn04 with the ignition in the tank, or at least that is the way it looks. I can't seem to find any pics or anything that explains how to take it off.....we have the main info for removing hoses connectors and such....we just don't want to force something that isn't suppose to be forced.

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Thanks in advance

 

I would follow the instructions in the manual. Get it Here Start on page 197

 

Yeah I have looked through that. The tank we have has the ignition in the front of the tank, (or at least bracketed in their) with a front black cowl piece that is not shown in any manual I can find. Seems to be hung up right at where the ignition switch is??

 

That's the manual for 06-08. You need the one for 12+. I know it's out there and has been mentioned frequently.

06-08 has the ignition switch attached to the upper triple tree so it isn't a consideration when removing the tank.

 

That's the manual for 06

I also found online somewhere the manual supposedly for a 2013-14.....it also does not show anything about this style?

 

You need to remove the bolts holding the plastic on the tank. They are forward and to the left and right of the tank. Remove your seat and unbolt a few more bolts. You then have to unplug your fuel line. I am sure this is in tr manual and if the part about the plastics isn't mentioned then just add that part. I can explain better when I get home to a real computer if someone doesn't help you first.

 

Also, I have a pdf of how to do this for maintenance and some modding. If you would like that along with a 2013 service manual, pm me your gmail and I will share it via Google drive. There are a few other goodies in there as well.

 

That would be great. I appreciated it. PM sent

 

Dave the guide I shared and the reply I wrote are both correct. The ignition is not really built into the tank but only looks like it. Once you pull that plastic piece off you will know what I mean. Take the plastic off, unbolt the bolts up front, unbolt the rear tank bolts under the seat, unclip and unplug the tank from the left hand side ( left if you were sitting on the bike) and the tank lifts off, leaving the ignition on the bike.

 

Were you able to figure it out?

 

Not yet, the plastic piece is stubborn and I don't want to reef on it and break it.

Plus my son works security graveyard, and me days....we don't get much chance to do stuff together

 

Just to update you guys, yes we finally got together last night and got the plastic piece off, and the tank loose. Fighting with the connectors now but that's easy stuff.

Thanks for your help, it is appreciated.
