A quick disconnect fuel fitting is neither quick nor convenient if it takes seven hands to disconnect it!!!

I broke mine trying to disconnect. Now I just use a hose clamp.

I'm gonna be patient and get someone to hold the tank while I gingerly disconnect it with two hands. WTF!? How do people race these bikes.

haha. It had a way of propping it up with my forearm and maneuvering around with my hands to get it uncoupled. Wait until you do a rear tire change.

Is it the new style with the plastic clip you need to slide over?

No, it's the old style. Pinch til your fingers bleed, and it's not even close. I hear the trick is to use two hands.

I'm used to tricky tire changes, but we'll see.

Get some plumber's food safe grease. It's clear and o-ring safe. A little on my quick connect fittings every now and then keeps the ethanol from swelling the rubber and everything slides together and apart nicely.

Last bike I worked on with the quick connect fuel lines was my R7. I know it involved a piece of wood and a couple bike tie downs to free up my hands so i could get at the lines. I'd rather it be a bitch to unclip, then to have an easy disconnect that could fail
