Im attempting to drop/rotate the engine. The bike has no oil in the primary or the engine so I cant do the gasoline purge as recommended in the manual. How do I go about removing the fuel line from the fuel rail so I can remove the throttle body or do i leave it attached and remove the fuel rail after the body has been removed. | ||

If it has not been run in several days (might be far less) then it is pretty safe to go ahead and pull it. Alternate is to wait several hours, wrap a rag around the connector, hold on tight, push the button to release the connector. Either it pops right off with some fuel spray (hence the rag) or you are fine. keep a rag handy either way because there will be at least some dripping. | ||

Be careful: one can botch red button step and damage fuel line's integral clip with a pair of pliers.  | ||

NO PLIERS! This button should push with your thumb and your thumb alone unless you get the correct specific tool!!! I don't remember if my button was red, could be green or orange. It's a pretty standard connector for high pressure lines. If the button is hard to push, then grab the fuel line and push it onto the rail, this should release the pressure on the clip and let you push it. If it is still too tight to push, you might have pressure in the line and I'm not sure how you would release it without turning the engine to fire the injectors. You might be able to fire the injectors with the injector test in ECMspy (but I haven't tried it). To assemble, just push the fuel line back on until you hear it click, tug on it to make sure and then watch when you fire up the fuel pump to make certain it isn't spraying.
