Dumb Question

SO i jsut purchased my first bike today, a 1978 Kz400. It needs a new battery and the tank is full of rust; which brings me to my stupid question.

how do i get the tank off?

I know how newbie that sounds, but the fact is, i'm very new to the bike world.

i just can't seem to find out where the hell its bolted down at.

pull your seat off first ,if it is bolted it should be right there where seat/tank meet at.it probably just has a rubber strap holding it on there;)

i underestimated how easy that was going to be haha. it was just secured onto a rubber grommet.

in other news; the previous owner stored the bike away with no gas in it at all. all i hear are rusty flakes yay. i dont know if that would be worse or better than a half filled tank.

a full tank with stabilizer and empty carbs is the best!

haha shouldve let the other guy in on that secret. hopefully the carbs are still ok. we'll see tomorrow after i clean the tank i suppose!

hey thanks for the heads up wireman. i know a lot of people would normally skim right past a question like that; i gotta be honest, i probably would myself.

as soon as i saw the word dumb it sucked me in ,i like a challenge!
