range with clarke tank
 

Took a 5 hourride with my new clark tank. I rode with a xr650 with a 4 gallon clarke tank and we had the same range. Since the xr uses more fuel we were near empty at the same time.

Interesting. Could it be that he used more fuel because he's a big guy like me? :D J/K

RE: range with clarke tank
 

So how far did you go?

RE: range with clarke tank
 

Psssst! Dmar, how many miles did you go? :eek:

RE: range with clarke tank
 

I don't know the exact miles, I would say about 90 miles. I didn't hit the reserve yet, but I was close. The fuel level was very low.

RE: range with clarke tank
 

Well, Dmar,

Excuse me for this very Iowaesche response, but that is piss poor range. 90 miles is no better than stock, so I'd sayyour guess is off by quite a bit.

My apologies for being rude, but if you don't keep accurated track of your mileage, the information is absolutely worthless. What is "I went just as far as an XR650 with a 4+gal tank supposed to tell us? :eek:[:'(]

RE: range with clarke tank
 

I don't think he is off by much. I only get 60-70 miles on the stock tank off road. How you ride is everything when it comes to fuel mileage.

RE: range with clarke tank
 

I can get 75-80on road but have run out at 55 off road. (nor including reserve) on the stock tank.

RE: range with clarke tank
 

Ooookay, I'll have to take y'all's word on that. This figures just seem a bit low to me.

RE: range with clarke tank
 

On a ride a couple of weekends ago, I topped off the Clarke tank (before it started leaking) and rode a mix of smooth dirt rodes and rough 4x4 trails (and just a touch of pavement). Hit reserve at 105 miles and finished the ride at 110 miles. I'm not sure how gasoline was left, but I'm satisfied with the range. Now if they can just provide me with one that doesn't start leaking after a month or so of use.
