Don't pull straight up. Pull towards the back of the bike and up. The tank bumpers, don't know the real name, slide into curved channels on the underside of the tank.

... and edge it to the left side... the petcock hangs up on the frame and will just barely scrape past...

You did disconnect the fuel and vacuum lines from it,... right?... Huh...

Then,.. don't pull it all the way off... there are two wire connections that you must disconnect under there...
Ohhh!... and the speedo cable cable,.. disconnect it at the engine, and don't lose the rubber o-ring gasket...

Or slap the tail of the tank to the left before pulling/lifting.

Are those rubber boots that hold the front of the tank adjustable?
