I've been testing and tuning my 2024 350 XC-F Desert race build and like you I haven't run into any fuel issues. Off-road I've ran the gas tank down to a 1/4" - 1/2" of fuel in the wings without out issue on 3 occasions.

[@slaverace1]

Hello: Thanks for the information!

[@barnescycle]

I just ordered the 3.1 from yall today. Thanks for the comparison it really helped 👍

[@slaverace1]

Our pleasure!

[@crashedking1931]

How do you like the tank is it bulky.

[@slaverace1]

@@crashedking1931 I use it all the time for trails and dual sport. I don’t even notice the additional width.

[@barnescycle]

@crashedking1931 not bad at all but now that gncc season is over I'm going back to the sx tank for motocross

[@mcgaryracer]

How do you get to the oil cap to fill up the two stroke oil

[@slaverace1]

Hello: We now have tanks with clearance for the oil spigot. slavensracing.com/shop/large-capacity-fuel-tanks/

[@MrHumpo75]

Any Jeff idea when the Husky 501 4.0 ver will be out?

[@slaverace1]

Hello: Acerbis tells us they will arrive the end of April.

[@mikewest7585]

Any Idea when they'll have them for the 2024 TE300?

[@slaverace1]

Acerbis has told us we will have them in April. The day they are available we will post it.

[@aaronmcelhinney1436]

Do you know if Acerbis makes a dry break system and or dump can, like IMS?

[@slaverace1]

Acerbis does not offer a dry break but the IMS system fits well and we also have their dump cans. Check them out on this page please >>>> slavensracing.com/shop/dry-break-system-by-ims/. We also have these >>> slavensracing.com/shop/low-profile-dry-break-gas-cap-by-hunt-racing-products/

[@davidzelkowski9948]

I wish they would have incorporated the radiator shrouds into the tank like their tanks for the older bikes. That helped keep the center of gravity lower. Of course there might have been issues preventing them from going that route.

[@mikeburnett6222]

Good job Jeff, 😊

[@slaverace1]

Thank you.

[@adamniswonger8015]

Any reason a set of KTM plastics wouldn’t fit on an FE frame? Maybe airbox swap as well, but I’m not even sure that would be necessary, either. Just thinking since I am buying a seat and a second set of plastics for my new 24 fe501s.

[@slaverace1]

Hello: I'm fairly certain that KTM plastic won't fit.

[@motourge3061]

Is the 4 gal tank a prototype? I called Acerbis and they said they won't be available until late March or April?

[@slaverace1]

Not a protype. These came direct from Italy to the US distributors.

[@rre1365]

Jeff, how many miles are you getting on your 300 with the 3.2 gallon tank?

[@slaverace1]

100+

[@rre1365]

@slaverace1 thank you... is there a big difference between the 3.2 vs the 4.0 gallon tank as far as feel or handling on the trail? We ride mostly in the woods, a lot of whoops and roots...

[@pauliemars]

Thanks Jeff. So when did the 4.0 become available? I just bought the 2.9 for my 501 as that was the largest size available last week. According to the internet. I tried to buy it from your shop but was told that 2.9 tank wouldn’t be in stock until end of march.

[@slaverace1]

Hello: Acerbis does not even have a part # yet for the 4.0 tanks for `24 HQV models. We only have the KTM 4.0s in stock. We don't expect them until the end of April.

[@slaverace1]

We just received 2.9 gallon Acerbis HQV tanks slavensracing.com/shop/large-capacity-fuel-tanks/ today and have more arriving next week. We also have IMS options in stock >> slavensracing.com/shop/large-capacity-fuel-tanks-for-husqvarna-by-ims/ .

[@codyhall1091]

wish Jeff would do a video on the bullshit chain tension guide as it’s way too tight following the OE spec

[@slaverace1]

What year and model bike are you referring to?

[@BradSheasby]

@@slaverace123+ New Chassis. There are videos showing that the chain tightens substantially more than in previous years as the swingarm swings upwards due to the geometry. Many feel the “tightness” or “stiffness” some experience in the new chassis has more to do with the chain being too tight more than the chassis or rear suspension.

Im running thr acerbis 3.2 on my 24 300 xcw, i have fit the oil fill cap as well. I shared a video if it. Clears the fan and everything

[@edwolfe1397]

Hey, had seen your vid before then saw this comment. Went back to it for another look but... nothing different..?? you don't finish it out with.. I did this, I shaved that, now it fits ??, works ??, doesn't ??? Jeff has been running the same tank just without mods. If you made it work please show us what you did.. Thank you much and Good Job..?

[@MrDirtrdr22]

@@edwolfe1397 yes i am extremely behind in my video updates. I am also getting a better camera, not using my phone to record. I will be posting an update soon. All i did was use a heat gun and slowly mold the upper part into itself, under the fuel cap, to clear the oil cap. Its not the fastest way t9 remove the cap as it used to be, but its doable eith out removing the tank.

[@edwolfe1397]

@@MrDirtrdr22 there it is.. A heat gun to mold the tank backwards and free up the space for cap removal.. Brilliant and simple.. Thank you much.. I will now probably get the tank.. :) Thanks again..

[@edwolfe1397]

@@MrDirtrdr22 hey, do you have a part number for the tank? They have several under 3.2 and what looks right says it doesn't fit which is correct but.. you have it figured out.. again, thank you thank you

[@MrDirtrdr22]

@@edwolfe1397 i just got confirmation today from acerbis, saying The new 3.2 gal tank specifically for the 2024 XC-W will not be dry-break adaptable, but the mold for the tank has been slightly modified to accommodate the oil cap. Other than that, the tank is exactly the same as the tank you currently have. they are in the works to release a new 3.2 that

Awesome. "Worry about your head not your junk."
