Download the complete PDF version using the green download button at the top right of this page for a detailed Norton 961 fuel tank removal guide. This illustrated workshop manual shows the complete process for safely removing the fuel tank, including seat removal, tank strap and side bolt access, vent hose disconnection, fuel line connector release, fuel pump plug removal and careful lifting of the tank from the motorcycle.
This step-by-step guide created by Richard Coote uses clear full-color photographs to identify each fixing, hose and electrical connection involved in removing the tank from a Norton Commando 961. It also includes practical cautions such as protecting the tank from the sharp triple-tree clamp during removal and having a second person assist while disconnecting the fuel pump wiring underneath the tank.
The manual is especially useful for owners preparing to access components beneath the tank for servicing, electrical work, intake inspection or other Norton 961 maintenance tasks where safe tank removal is required.
