Re: fuel tank

Yep and here's the link to replace your exsisting tank. There are others that convert the tank cover into a tank, look at this one. None of them are cheap. There may be others, these are just what I have seen.

Re: fuel tank

I believe I read somewhere that you can't run a radial tire with the tank or maybe it was the braced swingarm...:ummm:

Re: fuel tank

Bigger fuel tank shouldn't be necessary unless you have a bigger engine and/or carbs.

when you only get 110 miles out of a tank it kinda sucks.that means if I ride it 2 work I have to fill it every other day

Re: fuel tank

how much fuel is in the reserve? and how far can you go on it?

Re: fuel tank

Thats a "loaded" question. There is .8 gal in reserve. How far depends on your fuel mileage. I get over 40 mpg so 120 to the light and another 30 on reserve.

There are a lot of options for larger tanks and you could even have yours welded up to make it larger but be careful to only enlarge certain areas since you may not be able to get it back in (or out) or even put on your side covers.

Re: fuel tank

My fuel light comes on at 115 to 120 miles at the earliest. It comes on with
.8 - 1 gallons of fuel left and I get at least 30-35 miles of reserve.

Re: fuel tank

Right now with 1600 miles on the bike I am getting 32mpg with an 18" radial rear wheel so gearing is a little higher I believe...

It was 30 so it is getting better with miles...:clapping:

Re: fuel tank

For that price - I'd keep it stock, and just stop for gas when it gets low..

Re: fuel tank

There is a 5 gallon tank from Evo-tech BRM. Some guy just sold this on ebay about a month ago for about half the price of new.
