I went with the Clarke 4.7 gallon tank, a range of 340km/ 211 miles, there is no need to move the signal lights. mounting instructions easy to follow. after seeing what you had to go through I'm happy iI purchased the Clarke !

[@CoyoteChris]

@@davidcunneyworth741 yeah, it wasn’t the easiest install. You would think they would make a better mold that fits with all the stock setup. 🤘🏼

[@marloncalton7094]

Thanks for the video. It shows just what a pain the install can be! I just installed this tank today (07/04/2024) on my XR650L. I used Sil-Glyde (NAPA), a lubricant, on the factory rubber tank mounts. The tank slides really easy over the mounts this way and no modification to the mount is necessary. That does not mean it is easy to install! I still had to use a ratchet strap on both sides to get the front mounts bolted up. I also ran my fuel line on the right side in back of the carb so I didn't have to deal with the cables. I fit the fuel line on the left side the way you did. Enjoy the ride!

[@CoyoteChris]

Sounds awesome, glad the video helped. Even though it was a pain to install I’m glad I did it. No more worrying if I’m going to run out when I’m on the trails. 🤘🏼🔥

[@skyecooleyartwork]

My 3-way connector broke. Replaced with brass tee from hardware store. Works great.

[@CoyoteChris]

@@skyecooleyartwork yeah mine seemed very flexible. 🤘🏼

[@wilsonna1957]

I didn't cut the bushing pins. They are fine as is. I used a ratchet strap to pull the tank down into position. Also, just move the turn signal up one bolt hole using just one bolt to hold it to the bracket. You'll need a spacer on the bottom bolt as it will be too long now. I used a larger nut as a spacer at the bolt head. Or get a shorter bolt. Good Video!

[@CoyoteChris]

@@wilsonna1957 yeah I made a small bracket to move my signals up.

[@TheEvanRoach]

I have the IMS tank on my 650l. It doesn’t have the same issues that you mentioned with the pegs rubbing, however I like how secure mounting this one is.

[@CoyoteChris]

@@TheEvanRoach even though it was a headache installing, I’m happy with the end result. 🤘🏼🔥

[@juancarlos1145]

La instalación no es tan difícil, yo no tuve que cortar el chasis. Lo que hice fue poner el tanque al sol y en el área que va anclado a la moto puse dos pequeñas tablillas y en media un gato de triángulo. Lo fui abriendo poco a poco con la ayuda de una pistola de calor y me quedo muy bien. Si tienes dudas me puedes contactar.

[@CoyoteChris]

@@juancarlos1145 I’m glad it was easy for you. It was winter when I installed the tank so sitting it outside wouldn’t work. The torch heater🔥definitely helped. 🤙🏼

[@100868ful]

Great video! Bike is looking Great. What front fender do you have mounted?

[@CoyoteChris]

@@100868ful Thanks, the fender is a Polisport Freeflow Universal Front Fender. 🤙🏼

[@bobbygurganus2639]

The IMS tank has slots made in the tank for the rubber mounts I put a little bit of grease in the slots and it went on just let the stock tank.

[@CoyoteChris]

Yeah you would think that it wouldn’t take much to have this tank molded better. Oh well it’s on now 😂

[@psycoticreaction9135]

Thanks, you just showed me why not to buy this. For $336.00 it needs to be correct when it comes out of the box. I am not modifying my bike just to make this fit!!!!!!

[@CoyoteChris]

Yeah it is kind of stupid that it won’t fit perfect. After the install I will say it is very nice not worrying if I run out of gas when I’m on a long trail especially if I’m exploring and don’t know how long it will take to get out of the trail.

[@TheEvanRoach]

The IMS tank fits perfectly.

The IMS 4.0 gallon tank fits better. It uses the stock rubber mounts. I have one on my 2022.

[@CoyoteChris]

Yeah I looked into that one but I wanted a little more in mileage for long trips. 🤘🏼🔥

[@Alien300Blackout]

What’s the fuel range with that 4 gallon tank?

[@bobbygurganus2639]

@@Alien300Blackout about 155 miles. And the tank looks stock.

[@jamespolucha8790]

Does the gas drain from the right to left or do you have to lean it over ?

[@CoyoteChris]

@@jamespolucha8790I’m not sure exactly what your asking. It has 2 petcocks so as long as you turn both on it will drain either side. 🤙🏼

[@user-zt6tm9lm2y]

Got it done finally. Thanks for your help. Have you done the smog delete? I have a 2003 I'm doing. Getting mixed info in what to plug

[@CoyoteChris]

Your welcome and yes I’ve done the smog delete. 👍🏼

[@user-zt6tm9lm2y]

@CoyoteChris I have a 2003 and the carb is different. Not as many hoses. Your know anything on that?

[@CoyoteChris]

@user-zt6tm9lm2y as far as I know they are the same carbs.

[@user-zt6tm9lm2y]

The biggest problem I'm having is the rubber mounting pieces on each side it's almost as if I should just cut those off. Only thing is I won't have anything to mount the old tank back on if I ever need to or sell it

[@CoyoteChris]

Not sure if you watched my whole video but I showed that I cut half of the metal out that the rubber piece is hanging on which made it much easier for me and if you decided to go back with a stock tank it will still work.

[@user-zt6tm9lm2y]

@CoyoteChris I watched the video a few times..ha ha. I appreciate your work. So basically these tanks need to stretch out a couple inches

[@CoyoteChris]

@user-zt6tm9lm2y 🤣 yeah pretty much. Putting heat to it was the best decision I made. 🤘🏼

[@thomascoker5702]

Got this tank on the XR, quick question. I’m planning to wrap the bike, do you foresee any issues with putting 3M vinyl wrap heated onto the texture of this tank? To me, it seems textured, which might hold air bubbles and make it a weaker hold?

[@CoyoteChris]

@@thomascoker5702 in my experience with any graphics on a gas tank it never worked for long and would change colors. 🤙🏼

[@thomascoker5702]

@@CoyoteChris sweet, thanks for the reply! I figured as much with the textured plastic. Still, I wouldn’t trade the capacity on that big tank. I might see if I can find a work around for it. If I can, I’ll make sure to post it back here.

[@CoyoteChris]

@ Sounds good, it’s hard to pass up the capacity. 🤙🏼

[@thomascoker5702]

@@CoyoteChris tell me about it! I think I might try painting it to smooth, then scuffing it up with sandpaper before the wrap. I’ll keep the update and probably do a thread with my work on the thumper talk forum. If you see it, you’ll be surprised how similar our bikes are! I actually clicked on the link because I thought it was my bike before the guy sold it to me! Big gun exhaust is such a killer. Love it!

[@CoyoteChris]

@thomascoker5702 Hell yeah, I love the 650 🔥

[@AlphaChimpEnergy]

How much range are you averaging out of that larger tank. I see conflicting numbers, but I guess that makes sense bec people ride wildly different.

[@CoyoteChris]

@@AlphaChimpEnergy I was only able to get 85 miles on the road with the stock tank which is 2.8 gallons. 3 more gallons with this tank so it would roughly get you 170-190 mpg total.

[@AlphaChimpEnergy]

@@CoyoteChris it’s crazy how much of a range difference it is when you have a liquid cooled engine.

[@CoyoteChris]

@@AlphaChimpEnergy old school designs were never meant for great mileage. 🤷‍♂️

[@user-zt6tm9lm2y]

Would you use any type of sealer on the peacock mount? That part seams a little wonky?

[@CoyoteChris]

I honestly looked at it and considered putting something extra on them but I just ran them with what they came with and have zero leaks.

[@midknight2137]

@@CoyoteChriswhat would you use if you did have leaks on the screws on the petcocks. I installed mine and now I have gas leaks throughout

[@CoyoteChris]

@@midknight2137 you might be able to use some SealAll around the screws but you will need to empty the tank first.🤘🏼

These tanks are a @#&%! to install. I used a rachet strap to pull it down to where I could put the bolts through.

[@CoyoteChris]

Yes they are, as you could see I struggled for sure but I love it now. No concern in running out of gas when I’m making new trails and no destination. 🤘🏼🔥

[@Stubones999]

If you left one of the tank valves shut, that would give you a gallon or two spare if you "run out" just open the other petcock.

[@CoyoteChris]

@@Stubones999 yeah that’s pretty much what I’ve been doing. 🤘🏼🔥

[@andyderby150]

I bought a used Xr650l and they put this goofy looking 5 gallon plastic crap tank on it😖the plastic fades and it looks like an ol milk jug so I try to find the stock tank on line NOPE they are all over priced and beat to crap , if you a large capacity tank buy a motorcycle that comes factory with one! I’m stuck trying to buff it and trying to get some graphics for it, the keyed cap keeps people from tampering, I guess you’re stock tank will go into the twilight zone and the next owner will be stuck with a big ugly pink after it fades gas tank.

[@CoyoteChris]

@@andyderby150 nah , whenever I decide to sell the bike I will give them the stock tank as well. I’m not sure if you we asking a question or not but that’s what I plan to do. 🤘🏼
