Sounds daft I know...
I have removed the fuel tank on my 08 GSA 1200 and now cant get it to align correctly to put it back on.
I dont want to force it so im just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.
Its roughly half a centimetre out.
Here is a picture I found
I have pushed the tank hard up against the green circled bungs and i just cant get the red arrowed bolts to align with the frame..
I am at the stage of pulling my hair out because it really shouldnt be this hard, I have phoned BMW who said it should just slide back on and the only thing it tends to gat caught on is the air intake...
I have removed the air intake it is clear of everything, not catching on nothing yet it wont align... even if i force it its still 4mm out and wont take the bolt its just that fraction out.
My next alternative it to chuck it in the back of a van and drive it to a BMW garage and say "show me what im doing wrong"
driving me mad !!
Any one had a similar problem ?? or got any advice for me please ?
Cheers
