My 2004 was easy/ obvious but when looking @ the 2003 it's not obvious to me how to remove the plastic/ gas tank... Please advise.

 

Remove the seat, fuel cap, fuel line fuel shut off **** (look inside of this where it slips over the petcock, one corner is not square, rounded for indexing during reinstall), upper center tank cover plastic, air intake tube from air box, left and right side panels, foreward mounting screws and rearward mounting screws. Make sure you only route the hoses through the air snorkle tab provision that came out of there. One hose routes through clips on the side panels and around the front seat **** on the fuel tank. I have seen this hose stuffed in the intake provision and blocks off the differential breather.

Thanks, I'm gonna do it tonight..

 

If you need any more help, I can scan in the page about it from my repair manual. I did it on my recon... just ask!
