I believe the tank is held on after the bolts are removed by rubber pucks at front wiggle ..to the rear ..1st remove the gas line...
Testimonial: "thank U 4 your help, it all worked out fine."
When I remove the gas lines, I am guessing the lines will leak?
Do I first have to empty the tank and what will the process be. All I really want to do is just chance the spark plugs.
I never thought it would consist of so much work.
Well just see if gently lifting gives you enough room with out disconecting gas line. otherwise just shut off petcock or youll need to drain tank if drain tank good time to check filter & clean ,,

First disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Next left out the back seat. It is spring clipped in with two clips on the bottom left and right front of the seat. Pull clips forward and lift seat front up. I hooks in at the back so rotate the front up to unhook and lift out. In the middle under the seat is the gas gage float. Disconnect the wire connector and remove floor cover with Philips screwdriver. Then remove float from tank. This step must be done so you do not break the wire to the gas gage float. It is also the best place to siphon off the gas in the tank. Then you can remove the tank. You may have an exhaust shield to remove. The tank is held in with two straps hinged in the front and bolted in the back. Loosen the brake line clamps attached to the straps so that the clamp will slip when the tank straps are hinged down. There are several hoses and a gas connect to open. Open hose clamps. Disconnect fuel pump connector at back of tank. The fill hose needs to be worked off as you pull the tank down. There is one hose on the top back edge of the tank that needs disconnect after the tank is tipped down some. There is a rubber/plastic tank holder connected to the back flange of the gas tank. Remove the two corner screws but leave the guard connected to the straps. Remove the two strap bolts and hinge down to pull it out and disconnect all hoses. Mark with tape or some mean which hose when were.
