BUMP!!!

Any word on the tank??

 

None here. Email Clarke manufacturing and let us know. www.clarkemfg.com

 

I emailed Clark recently and was told that they expect to have the tank out by late April. They didn't give meany information on tank size etc..

I know alot about the clarke tank..... yea.... pretty much everything....

 

And....?

 

well i hear from the grape vines.... that clarkes tank is gonna be 2.9 gallons, stock shrouds, stock petcock, stock cooling fan, a direct bolt in replacement... begining of may.... i didnt tell u guys that....

 

niccee
cant wait.. if i can scrape the cabbage up ill be sportin it in jersey

 

Just sent an email to Clarke, with the hopes that showing a strong demand for the tank may increase their desire to complete this project. While I expressed understanding that emails could be flooding in, if someone else where to come out with a "NON MOD" tank first, the financial loss could be staggering.
With the huge following and fan fair about this bike, I'm sure other manufactures are zoning in onall the high end demands and after market ideas that could prove to be very lucrative.
Just hope this tank does materialize and goes to market soon.
If what you say EMS_0525 is true,than we are all golden.................

Check this out ... Just Gas Tanks lists THREE (3) tanks for the KLX250! Guess which one's listed as "AVAILABLE APRIL 2007!"?

My wish for Christmas is to be able to buy a bike specific fuel tank and be able to ride the back country without constantly worring about the amount of fuel remaining for the return trip. I emailed Clarke Manufacturing the following.

Happy Holidays,
I purchased a 2006 KLX250S dual sport this past summer. Living here in S.W. Colorado provides some of the best trail and fire road access imaginable. The biggest drawback to this great bike is the fuel range. It really needs your help with one of the quality tanks that you manufacture. I know of a great bunch of guys (here and abroad) that all own the KLX250S @ www.kawasakiforums.com. Some have added an IMS with minor mods including having to replace the stock radiator fans, move the coil out of the way, and reroute the wiring harness, or the Acerbis tank. Moving some wiring is no big deal but I would like to keep the stock petcock w/ reserve and radiator fans. Aftermarket shrouds shouldn't be a big deal if needed to get a decent fuel capacity. 3 to 3.5 gallons would really help this bike and make it a true dual sport. End of Email.

Who knows, if they get motivated by some forum members who are also interested in a larger capacity, we might provide enough influence. Afterall, look what happened with the USC skid plate.
Thanks again tefer & cwgoff for your efforts in executing this and not just letting it die on the vine.

Happy Holidays to you all.
