Tank cover removal ?

[cabby]

I know someone on here has already had they're tank cover wrapped, so how does it come off ? 

 

I've removed all visible screws/bolts etc but don't want to just pull at it.

I have since managed to remove the cover, as was stated in another topic, it was a matter of being brave and just popping it off the sides.

As I am interested in this as well, I looked for the maintenance manual (which I could not find yet), but the parts catalogue site does provide some help by indicating all the bolts:

You just 'pry' off the tank cover off the tank?  I'm asking as I may ending painting it.

One comment says bolts, the other pry it off.

Thanks.

It's quite hard to explain via type but once you have removed all the poppers/bolts etc take the cover from the top right hand side and try and lightly run a slim screwdriver down the inside til you reach about midway and then just pry it up slightly, it should just pop off, repeat other side.

I'm afraid I didn't. 

 

I have very limited room to work on my bike (it's in my house, actually inside) so with space at a premium and tools all over the place along with being a bit nervous about my actions, a tutorial wasn't in my thoughts.

Over the weekend I will do a headlight removal tutorial with pics if I can get a chance.
