Holding the tank up? SV650.
 

Need to changer the plugs as part of the service not sure when they where last done, lifted the tank earlier today expecting to find a locking pin to hold the tank up! can anyone tell me if there is one or do I need to take the tank off? also if anyone knows the best way to get the the front that would be good as well.

Cheers

There should be a tank prop stick under the pillion seat, unless a previous owner binned it.
Releasing the bottom of the radiator and propping forward,e.g. with piece of wood, gives just enough acces for the front plug.

Thanks the last owner has binned it then the tool kit is also missing, will I have room to do the front with a standard plug socket?

Youll have to find something else to prop your tank up with , I had same issue and use a fisshing pole rest which is just the right length.
Depends on your tools. The plug is quite a long way down so youl likely need an extension piece between socket and ratchet.

Did mine this afternoon. With the plug spanner from the tool kit it's a piece of cake. I also had to use something else to prop the tank but it's actually a very easy job and took about 20 minutes.

The tool kit is under the LH panel down low not under the seat. I thought I didn't have a tool kit for a long while until I found it one day. (press black button to open)
