I was able to access the spark plug wire by just propping the front of the tank up enough to get my hands in there. No need to disconnect any fuel, vacuum, speedo, or electrical connections.

dasch Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 1137	Re: Tachometer Reply #3 - 08/25/09 at 09:51:27 you remove two bolts, where the seat touches the tank. Remove seat. Than lift that end a bit, wiggle and pull about an inch rearwards. This will get the tank loose. Lift front end. Not as easy as it sounds. Good luck with getting it all back as it was. Even harder.
