<onlyinclude>
; Notes
: Patrick Truchon's [http://ptruchon.pagekite.me/wiki/zerodsmods#under_the_hood Under the Hood] notes show photos of removal with simple instructions.
: Keep removed fasteners and washers organized so you don't lose them.
;Tools
* 3mm allen key wrench.
* PH2 Philips Head screwdriver
*: preferably a compact side-ratcheting tool or a very long tool to reach across/through the steering head area.
;Steps
# [[Seat Removal|Remove the seat]].
# Use the 3mm allen wrench to loosen both bolts at the rear of the "tank" around the frame centerline.
#: These have washers to mind keeping.

# Use the 3mm allen wrench to loosen 2 bolts at the front of the tank around the lock / handlebars.
#: These also have washers.
#: [[File:SDS12VACCESSORYSOCKETKIT14MY10-0750401_removetankplasticsnearlock3mm.jpg|thumb|none|Neck mounting bolts]]
#: At this point, the flexible plastics attaching the tank to the front of the frame allow lifting the tank slightly if that is enough for your purposes.
# Use the Philips-head screwdriver to loosen the three screws on each side of the front inside of the tank.

#: The topmost screws have washers.
#: The bottommost screws are the most inaccessible, recessed in a narrow slot in the plastics.
#: A special tool is most needed here, especially with a DS/DSR to clear the fender. E.g [http://chapmanmfg.com/collections/all/products/1916-european-japanese-motorycle-set Chapman Mfg #1916] or [http://www.newmantools.com/wfmc.htm Wadsworth Falls Mfg Co],
