- This video shows, in detailed step by step instructions, how to deinstall and install back the Gas Tank of a Kawasaki Vulcan S 659 Kike.
Removing the tank is necessary if you want to install:
1. A new Air filter
2. A Booster Plug o Power Commander
3. Rely for LED blinkers
4. Gear Indicator. Running the cable underneath the gas tank
Enjoy it and if you have any comments or questions do not hesitate to live a message on the comments section.
Had an issue with indicators not working (tested with 9v batt, no issues). Everything else working fine except for a blown headlight bulb. Didn't check fuses because I figured other stuff wouldn't work if it were a fuse issue.
Figured I'd knackered a wire under the fuel tank when I was putting in heated grips, so I follow your instructions - which are fantastic by the way - nothing. Figure I might as well check the fuses.
So now I have some 10amp replacement fuses arriving tomorrow. What a saga.
Oh my God!!! I am glad you found the issue, wire problems are the hardest to find. I am glad my video helped out.
I have a 2019 vulcan s I wrapped with plastics on stupid hard. Now thanks 2 u I can wrap with no plastics on ty so much.
I am glad ir was useful to you.
thank you for sharing! i installed the booster plug and air filter without having to remove the tank, but by just moving it around. would have been much easier to remove the tank and get the benefit of space.
Thank you the video help alot!!!
I am glad it helped
Great guide :)
Thanks. Hopefully it was useful to you.
@@nathangarciamuro Very useful! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this Video!!!
I must Airbrush the Gastank from the VulcanS from my Girlfriend and i must install the Gastank for this!!
Nice job done
Thanks man. The purpose is to learn and to share the experience with others.
I see you mark the breather hoses in your video very smart. Mine are not marked and I’m not sure which way to connect them. I have the blue dot on the tank, does the hose with the blue dot run down under your bike and come out by the kickstand? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Great video
Nice videos I learned a lot. Can you do a video on how to change out the motorcycle grips
I won’t change the grips in my motorcycle so I will not do it. There is one out there from Canarian Productions which it is pretty good.
I’m newbie motorcycle, how do you maintain your bike. Can you do a video on that?
@@marvrus I have few videos on how to maintain the bike, oil change, chain lubricación and so on.
El video está bastante bien pero hay ciertos detalles que conviene aclarar. Es conveniente vaciar la gasolina del tanque obviamente para quitarle peso. No va a fugar gasolina del tanque porque la bomba de gasolina hace de obturador. por tanto cuando se suelta el acoplamiento de la manguera de la gasolina sólo salen unas gotas como se ve en el video. Yo he cortado las mangueras de goma del respiradero y desagüe y he instalado unas espigas macho-macho de 6 mm de diámetro para unirlas nuevamente, con ello facilito mucho la labor de extraer el tanque y no me arriesgo a dañarlo al no tener que andar manipulando esas mangueras de goma con sus grapas, etc..con el tanque de costado de mala manera. Suelto previamente de las espigas y levanto el tanque con unos tramos cortos de manguera sin mayor problema. Me parece un mal acabado no haber previsto esta maniobra por parte de Kawasaki con lo fácil que resulta colocar unas uniones. En fin, para que lo tengais en cuenta.
Hi Nathanael,
I Have also Vulcan S and when I was in my garage and I was replacing air filter I had feeling, that the gas tank was little presurized. The reaseon was, that I was heating my garage. And every few minutes I heard noise of the tank like it was releasing gases...... I think it was becouse of increasing temperature in the garage and increasing of presure in the tank...... My question is - is it possible to disconect those two lines from the tank and put some pressed air into them? I think one of them should be "waste line" and the other one should be returning from fuel pump. Do you know which one is the waste one ? I think one of them goes down and it ends somewhere close to kick stand......... That could be those "waste one", or those wich can overflow some fuel when you overtop the tank....... I think this one can be stucked and thats the reason why my tank get overpresurize when it is getting hot.......
Thanks for your answer......
Hard question. I am not a mechanic and I don’t have the problem you mention. What I would do is to remove the gas tank, remove the two tubes connected to the tank and blow air into them to make sure they are free of any stumbling block and the same into the two plugs. Besides that I wouldn’t know what to do. If you keep your bike inside such a hot place for quite a bit, I would also open the gas tank and leave it open, not widely but just a single crack so the vapors escape the tank.

Hi , I have done it Yesterday. I have Also cleaned my tank from all dirties which where inside. And I have Also blowed into both tubes. One goes down and one IS missing somewhere. I have also blowed into two little pipes on the tank. One Was okay and one was little harder.
Today I will put All back and I will see. I will let your know👍
I wish I had found this video before I installed the new air filter. I didn't know I could disconnect the gas pump connector (at 7:50), wish I did. Somehow the tank touched something (I suspect it was the positive side of the battery) while reconnecting the breather pipes and one of the cables on the connector heated up and the insulation got burnt. Lot of smoke for a couple of seconds. The motorcycle turns on but I better find someone to replace these cords asap.
Sorry to hear this. Hopefully nothing serious happened to your precious bike. None of the videos out there that shows you how to install the air filter or the booster plug or the relay for led indicators show how to remove the tank. They always show the tank sitting on the side hanging which I always thought it was very dangerous (you mentioned one consequence). For my safety or for the safety of the bike I decided to make this video since at the end you spend less time removing the tank than leaving it hanging on the side.
We dealing with high volatile liquid called gasoline so any short circuit or connection with the battery when we are manipulating the gas tank can cause a disastrous situation. Thank God this not happened to you.
Love your videos! Did you change your sparkplugs yet on your vulcan S?
Hello there, I apologize for not answering sooner. I haven’t changed the sparks plug yet but it could be a good project. However, I am too busy these days that I don’t have time to take care of the bike as much as I would like.
Me surge una duda, parece obvio pero, ¿es necesario vaciar previamente el depósito de gasolina? Gracias.
No hace falta vaciarlo. Antes de sacarlo de su sitio si cierra una válvula y asi no se sale. Lo que pasa si está el tanque lleno pues pesa mucho
@@nathangarciamuro Qué válvula , gracias
@@J14-c3l si miras el vídeo te lo indica todo paso a paso., no hay pérdida.
@@nathangarciamuro ok
Does the tank have to be empty
No. Before you take the tank off you need to close the gas pump, there is a step how to do it in the video, to ensure there will be no gas licks. In the video my tank was half full.
@@nathangarciamuro thanks!
Where did you get you passenger seat?
It came with the bike when I purchased it. However, it is custom made, the previous owner purchased it directly from Kawasaki and sent it to a custom place to have it modified.
