Hi,
Did you pull the black rubber plug away from the blue green clip?
It fits into the slots in the clip to keep it secured.
It is impossible to release the fuel clip without removing it

Yes, I pulled the black, rubber plug back first. I squeezed the plastic tangs as far inward as they could possibly go (until they contacted the metallic nipple on the fuel tank), and still the hooks would not disconnect from the connector. I was forced to use a screwdriver to bend the plastic hooks outward to release clips and I cracked the plastic housing. Am I the only one who experienced difficultly disconnecting the fuel line?
PowerDubs: What is the most complicated car ever built? You evidently have a lot more experience working on newer vehicles than I do, and a lot more patience. I can do three or four top-ends on my YZ250 (2-stroke) quicker than I can just inspect the valves on my CB1100.
Other than warranty work (which was extremely limited) I have never taken any of my vehicles to the shop for repair (I have owned 33 motorcycles in my lifetime). I do not trust anybody to work on my vehicles.
