250 shock question
stevea100m:
Thanks guys. Im tryin to track down a stock 450 tank to try it before i buy one. I race harescramble and my kx250 ts the way it is right now has a 3.1 gallon tank so if the 450 fits then im not losing fuel capacity.

i presume harescramble the same as enduro in the uk ,what time do you ride for? when i was doing enduros ( 3 hours ) on my kx250f i would have to fill up mid race and still have a bit left at the end , dont think i would like a bigger tank ,makes it heavier and not so easy to flick through the wood sections . when i had my kx250 with a larger tank i still had to fill up through the race and it was a monster to handle with the extra fuel! i rode in the over 40s expert class , without being rude it depends how quick you ride on the fuel consumption front. we do sometimes get a "sprint scramble" event but thats two 1 hour races ( not back to back).

A harescramble here is a 3hr multilapped race. My 03 kcx250 and my 125 both have 3.1 gallon tanks and i dont notice a difference between the stock tank and the IMS tank. Im riding it in the pro class here in michigan so havin more fuel is always a plus. I usually have to fill up at the half hour area and ill have just enough left at the end.
