(1/2) > >>

turtle22:
i figure im getting around 12 to 15mpg. i have a big desert(3.something gallions)tank. i ride with a bounch of four stroke450 guys & it seams they never bring extra fuel for the trip. where i have to bring a gag can in the truck for a refuel at some point dearing a ride. anyone got any way i can save fuel(slowing down is not an oppition) or get better mpg

KXcam22:
Good jetting and a lower float level will help.  The lower float prevents too much carb overflow on rough ground. Cam.

Johnniespeed:
I have a new Maier one quart jug that attaches to the handlebar cross bar, I ended up not installing it after I found out about desert tanks.
 I have seen tanks that are a number plate too, but cannot remember who makes it. When I ride my KX500 I always have more fuel left than anyone else. I ride with green blue and yellow. And everyone points to my tank ( clear) and mentions the amount of fuel that I have. I think the IMS tank is 3.2 or 3.6 gallons.

stroke.n.smoke:
The IMS green tank is 3.6 gallons. how big are the (big) desert tanks and where do you get them.  Stocker tank is only 2.6 gallons.

turtle22:
