BMW F650GS 2004 (R13) Rear Frame and Fuel Tank Removal

This is a longer video of the steps to remove the rear frame and fuel tank. As there is a considerable amount of corrosion on this F650GS I am moving towards a complete teardown. I've already removed a lot of components, so bear that in mind as I show the final stages here. Removal of the rear frame and fuel tank will also grant me access to the suspension strut and rear of the engine for further inspection.

After 2 years of dialysis I received a life changing kidney transplant. I am the Transplant Mechanic, making the most of the gift I've been given, a second chance to live life to the full again.
