The gen 3 sure has a slew of fasteners 😮 which reminds me, not a bad idea to use bit of blue med Loctite because of thumper vibration. Ask me how I know? There’s a cool tool for removing the fuel hose. Looks like pair of needle nose pliers with bent ends to push those tabs in. Available on Amazon. Your videos are a big help to new KLR owners! Love the upshift graphics kit 👌

I feel the KLR has less fastener than the G650GS so I feel like they aren’t too bad. Totally agree on the Loctite. Thanks for the tip on the removing the fuel hose. Totally agree on the UPSHIFT kit - They have awesome designs.

I managed the impossible and managed to remove those red fuel pump line clamps. I just took a extended screwdriver using a flathead. Inserting the flat ahead into the indent pulling outwards. There is no need to fiddle with the two tabs on the other side like in the video.

Thanks for another solution. The hard part for me was not pushing the fuel clamps back, it was getting the hose off the fuel pump without damaging the plastic hose.
