I don't have a service manual for my 2013 yet. Can someone provide the steps for removing the fuel tank on a 2013 RGU. I'm installing an amp and need to take it off. Thanks.

 

Here you go! This is for an '08, but I bet the steps are the same for a '13. If you haven't started the bike in a while you can skip the purge steps ands go straight to removing the tank.
1. Purge the fuel supply line as follows:
a. Remove left side saddlebag.
b. Remove left side cover.
c. Remove 15 amp fuel pump fuse.
d. Start the engine and allow the motorcycle to run.
e. When the engine stalls, operate starter for 3 seconds
to remove remaining fuel from fuel supply line.
f. Remove maxi-fuse.
g. Reinstall 15 amp fuel pump fuse.
2. Remove seat.
3. Remove console. Proceed as follows:
a. Remove socket screw to release front of console from fuel tank weldment.
b. Remove hex screw to release rear console bracket from clip nut on rear fuel tank bracket.
c. Lay a clean shop towel on forward part of rear fender.
d. FLHR/C: Remove console and lay upside down on shop towel.
e. FLHX, FLHT/C/U, FLTR: Press button to open fuel door on console. Remove filler cap. Remove console and lay upside down on shop towel. Install filler cap.
4. Gently pry fuel vapor vent tube from vapor valve fitting on top plate.
5. Remove fuel level sender/fuel pump connector [141], 4-place Delphi.
6. On FLHR/C models, move to bottom left side of fuel tank.
Gently pull on convoluted tubing to draw fuel gauge connector, 4-place Multilock, out of tunnel at front of fuel tank. Disconnect connector.
7. Locate quick-connect fitting on left side of fuel tank. Pull up on chrome sleeve and pull down on fuel supply line fitting to disconnect.
8. Remove rubber caps to reveal two front fuel tank screws. Remove screws to release flanges from frame bosses.
9. Remove plastic trim cover over rear fuel tank bracket.
Remove two screws to release bracket from frame backbone.
NOTE:
The fuel tank screws have both a T40 TORX recess and an external hex. Use of an open end/box wrench on the external hex allows the front screws to be removed without having to loosen or remove the fairing lowers, if installed.
10. Remove fuel tank from motorcycle.

 

It's way easier than you probably think.

I can have my tank off in about 5 minutes.

I don't do the removing the fuse and running the gas out thing. I cup a rag around the quick connect and release, at most all I have ever got is a little quick spurt of fuel. If the bike hasn't been run in a while there will be very little pressure. Always hold a rag around the disconnect when removing, gas in you eyes is a bad thing. LOL.

I probably shouldn't shortcut the directions, but this is how I do it.

 

hi .isuggest to cover your tank with a blanket.when you unscrew the 2 front bolts.and use 2 extensions.or your racket will hit the tank..mrfuji
