Changing out a gas tank

I bought a tank on eBay and had it painted. I swapped the tanks myself and it wasn't hard at all but you do need a service manual. If you get another tank, be sure it's for an 07 or later, the EFI element needs a large cut out on the bottom left side of the tank. Or you could remove your tank and have the dents pushed out and repainted.
You'll need to replace the EFI gasket, get one at the dealer.
Run as much gas out of the tank as you can, then use a siphon to get the rest. There will still be a bit down at the seat end so be mindful of spillage. When you remove the hose behind the EFI, have a rag under it to catch the dribbles of gas and then have a bigger rag when you remove the EFI element carefully.
Use a torque wrench when putting it all back together.
