Probably should have not removed the tank done this with not a full tank of petrol
.... but I must have stripped one of the threads as I could get the right tank bolt to torque up after removing the tank to run some wires underneath for my Powerport on the beak. This isn't rocket science by any means but if you have a loose bolt on the right hand side take the air filter off and you can put a M8 5/16 nut on the bolt if you need to (why there isn't one welded to the frame?). I tried thread lock and it would not hold and the thought of driving with a loose tank didn't sit well. For those that try this with a full tank..

don't unless you have a second pair of hands. Anyways new Powerport is (thanks Popeye) handy rather than having to remove seat and use croc clips for my pump.
Also cleaned out all the Wandering bugs from France in the air filter. S*it I took out a whole colony of something... probably was going to fast..
