Welcome to the Pier City Cycles Tutorial Series. In these videos, we hope to show you a range of jobs or mods that you can carry out on your BMW R9T or R18. We hope to cover those simple jobs which new owners might not feel confident in asking, all the way through to the signature mods we use to transform our builds.
In this tutorial, we'll show you how to remove the fuel tank on the BMW R9T. This is a task that often seems a little daunting (especially if you read the Forums) because there are a few different processes that need to be completed, however, in reality it takes a small amount of tools and only 15 minutes of your time in the garage to carry out. It is especially useful for swapping out the battery!
Tools Required;
A Ratchet
A T25 Torx Bit
A T30 Torx Bit
A T45 Torx Bit
A small flat bladed screwdriver

This provides me some insight on why BMW's have a reputation for being so expensive to fix. Two mechanics over 10 minutes just to get the tank off. And this is the "retro classic." Great video but it has me reconsidering one of these bikes.

ikr, it's absurd 😄Even on a ducati monster 2016 you just remove the seat and unscrew one screw, done, just pull the tank out.

Excellent how to video...these videos are going to be revisited so many times by owners, so helpful! How annoying is it when you start talking a tank off and realise its full of fuel and weighs a ton!! Cheers, Steve

Haha, totally. We often get people arrive at the workshop having just fueled their bike to the brim thinking it would be helping us for roadtests etc.

Great tutorial with a couple of smoothly negotiated tongue twisters!

@PierCityCustom 3 года назад

Cheers, Jules. You know we love to talk!

Fabulous how to video...even this girl managed to do it just as you show, very easy xx.......question is, do you have a video on how to reverse the process? 😅

@petermiller8634 Год назад

An excellent tutorial & very well explained thank you.

@simonchilli2088 Год назад

@ 4:10 ish why didn't the camera get taken around to the right hand side so we could see what was being undone?

@willshenderson6200 Год назад

This is a great video. You guys should do a video on how to install a RPM gauge on a Urban gs or a pure.

Excellent how-to video. When you said the key dresser over the ignition barrel was finicky you weren't kidding! I was about ready to take a blow torch to it. lol Even built my own tank brace even though yours is much nicer (BTW, do you sell those?) . I didn't have to remove the tank since I was just upgrading the front turn signals. Outstanding learning experience.

Just come across you vRU-vid, fantastic! regarding the tank removal, I've watched yours and others, no one mentions if your empty the tank first and if so the best way to do it, thanks, I'll be watching from now on just about to get a 2017 Scrambler x.

@PierCityCustom 2 года назад

Hi Andy. The best way is to use a fuel bowser, unfortunately. Failing that, an old fashioned siphon is probably best.

@dontlooknowman2375 3 года назад

Great tutorial guys and very timey for my next upgrade. Think you might do an ABR vid?

@PierCityCustom 3 года назад

We will, but only once we can book out two solid days in the workshop to record one. We're hoping for September.

@timotiheyeski8428 5 месяцев назад

Watching to see how to put this silly bmw tank bag strap on. Fiddly is something that will be stuck in my head now!

@vincentwinters2223 2 месяца назад

Great video. Thanks! Do you actually have to completely remove the gas tank to replace the battery?

@PierCityCustom 2 месяца назад

Yes sir!

@ramsroyale 8 месяцев назад

Excellent video, but can you elaborate on how to make sure fuel does not spill when removing the fuel lines. Thanks.

@PierCityCustom 8 месяцев назад

The fuel lines are quick release lines so they will close automatically once they have been unclipped.

Hey guys thanks for this. I’m planning to install a Booster plug on my 19 R nineT. Any idea of it works as advertised?

@PierCityCustom 2 года назад

Hello! We would tend to default to the Rapid Bike range for anything like this, the Rapid Bike EASY works well as a Booster plug.

@alftupper6762 3 года назад

great minds think alike .I was thinking the last time I took off my tank I would make a support like the one shown.i just haven't workout the centres yet. looks about 200 mill?

@PierCityCustom 2 года назад

Hi Alf. Ours come in at 240mm centre to centre.

@petevito 2 года назад

You asked the question for me...Nice one

@georgiosyiannakou5537 Год назад

Hi guys, what product would you suggest for lubricating the bolts? Or is it just a matter of cleaning them with a paper towel? Cheers!

@PierCityCustom Год назад

We don't lube any bolts.

@duncanmckie3984 2 года назад

I just want to access the battery terminals rather than replace the battery - it would be good to have an annotated version that shows how to do this without taking the tank off entirely.
