Never thought of that, my buddy that I sold the quad to has it in PA. It's only been about 2 years so I guess time will tell. I can't imagine the rate of absorbtion is much, when I top a tank in the fall it always looks topped by spring, maybe it's the Stabil.....[8D]

Well...off to work !

 

If you paint a plastic tank, it's best to use a sealer inside the tank before painting it.

 

You have to order what they call enviroshield 3 level fans.

 

Thanks Todd I'll check with them and find out.

Hi,

Do you have any plans for a fuel tank for the '06-'07 Kawasaki KLX250S.

The stock tank is woefully small 1.9 gallons. There are a couple of
other larger aftermarket tanks for the KLX300 that fit, but reportedly
they have their own set of problems.

Thanks.

Dan Moore

Hey mooredan, thanks for the update. I guess I am going to hold on installing the klx300 tank for now. If they are actually working on it, it shouldn't take to much longer. I am going to send another email now.

 

I just emailed Clarke:
I am glad to hear through www.kawasakiforums.com that the tank for the 06-07 KLX250S is being worked on. Is it still in concept or can we expect to see production soon. Eagerly awating an update. Please let me know as soon as they are coming off the production line. I(and many others) areeager to see your offering for our KLX's. Thanks.

Lets keep emailing and see how soon this is a reality.

 

Got an email from Clarke today:

Matt[/align][/align]We are in the modeling phase, no ETA yet.[/align]I will add you to the ever growing list of people to contact when they are done..[/align]And contact you when they are ready.[/align][/align]Thanks[/align]Chris[/align]Clarke mfg co.[/align]End of email[/align][/align]Looks like they are still aways off. I think I am going ahead with the KLX300 tank install along with the 331cc big bore and get ready for some serious rides this coming season. Time to order those fans![/align]

 

Matt,

Like you said, I would go ahead and do the KLX300 tank install. It's pretty straight forward and if anything it will just make the installation of the Clarke tank easier when the time comes for that. There is nothing that you will do to make that 300 tank fit that will add any restrictions for the future Clarke tank. After you are done fitting the 300 tank, you will be able to put any tank you want on there.

Good luck with it. If you have any questions just PM me. Mine went on with very little fuss. Of course I had Brian and Todd's mod writeups for the IMS tank installs as a guide. It was almost identical to their work.
