First step, collect the correct tools: The list is remarkably small, 4mm allen T handle, painters tape,( if this is the first time you have removed the ecu you may need a flat head screwdriver), and container to hold hardware
First remove the seat by inserting the key under the seat, turning the key and lifting seat at the same time. Put the seat in a safe place.
Remove the one bolt from each faux air scoop
Remove 2 plastic push pins from plastic cover at front of the tank, by pushing center portion till it clicks inward and pin will pull out
Remove 2 plastic push pins from lower portion of the same plastic cover, one on each side. Cover will be loose and can be removed
Remove 2 plastic push pins from the front portion, back side of each faux air scoop. After removal air scoops will pull off the bike. Grab from front and back edge and pull straight out.
Place tape on frame like pictured to protect during reassembly and remove bolt from each side of tank.
Remove 2 bolts from rear of the tank
Move two rubber trim pieces from front of the tank out of the way by swinging them up.
Tank is now ready to lift up. Grab on rear handle and front edge. Lift straight up slightly, move rearward enough to clear bars and lift front of the tank. Prop rear bracket of tank against tip over sensor bracket. It will hold it steady in place. This will allow you to hold the tank with your left hand and use your right hand to unplug the two plugs from the ecu and slide the ecu out. If you have not removed the ecu before you may need to use a flat blade screw driver behind back edge of ECU to pop the ecu loose. The ecu just slides out of the compartment in the top of the airbox.
For reassembly I recommend starting the two side tank bolts first and spraying the rubber grommets that the posts on the back side of the faux scoop covers slides into with some WD40.
While the ECU is out I recommend trimming the front cover and shortening the snorkel in the top of the airbox to increase airflow. The snorkel is trimmed so it extends in the airbox to the top of the air filter element.

Thanks any feedback is appreciated
