Question
how do i remove seat and gas tank

Answer
There should be a 10mm nut behind the passenger seat.  Take that off and the back passenger seat should pop off.  Then there will be 2 Allen head bolts on the back of the driver seat, take those off.  Then the driver seat should come off.  Then you will be down to the gas tank.  At the front of the gas tank there is a 8mm bolt in the front going into the frame, remove that.  At the back of the gas tank there are 2 either 10 or 12 mm bolts, take those out.  Before you pull the tank off, remove the fuel line from the fuel petcock.  Lift the tank up a little and on the right side of the tank there will be a vent tube that you have to remove before removing the tank all of the way.
