It is possible to do it with the tank on but much easier with the tank off. to take the tank off then undo the bolt at the front of the tank (just below handlebars), Tank will then be able to flip up on the hinge at the back, best to not have too much fuel in it! Then underneath there is a tap, electrical connection and a pipe. this is for the fuel to go from the tank to the engine. Remove the electrical connection, this is for the fuel gauge, Turn off the tap, and have a few rags ready as you take off the pipe as there may be a dribble of fuel. There may also be two or one breather pipes attached to the bottom of the tank so release them too. Put the tank back down as it is when riding and undo the bolt at the hinge. The tank can now be lifted off, have somewhere ready to set it, like a folded cloth or old sheet so you don't scratch it. that's the tank done.

There are other threads saying how to actually change the filter so I'll let you search for them and read them. Basics are: rubber flap out the way, remove side panels, remove top cover or air box, remove old filter, put new one in, replace parts. Mind and switch on your fuel tap again before you bolt down the tank!

Hope that helps,
