Hi all
I'm carrying out my first bit of work on my late 2002 FZS600 this weekend to get her back on the road (someone pulled out in front of me and crushed my radiator) and I'm very much looking forward to getting my hands dirty!
I've looked through the Haynes manual and studied some videos, so I'm pretty clued up on the whole coolant draining/flushing/filling procedure. However, the Haynes manual omits any mention of reinstalling the fuel tank in order to run the bike for the flushes and the fill. It would be pretty annoying to have to remove and reinstall the fuel tank between each flush and fill, so...
Does the fuel tank need to be reinstalled to run the bike, or can you run the bike with it off? I'm assuming it runs off a reserve tank if so?
I'm going to be bump starting the bike once I've attached the new radiator, as the battery's dead... Will be the first time I've started her since the accident.
Cheers!
