Two left triangular panels under seat first then you will see the screws to the seat to take it off.

then 2 bolts at top of tank, so the tank will lift, as there is a hinge at the bottom, you should have a long metal bar under the pilloin seat which will prop the tank up......... if not just use a bit of wood, or somthing

Sure it wasnt the carbs spitting back on startup?That could blow some smoke back through the airbox which would come out from under the tank.

You don't remove the black panels but hinge em back. Unless the plastic rivets at rear of panel have gone awol.

I don't reckon it's electrical. A fuse would have popped most likely or it would be continuing doing it. Possible spit back in carbs although not sure how the smoke is getting out (answered in Biggles post)

Will find out in an hour if we happen again, LUNCHTIME !!!!
