TE/TC 2017 TE300 questions

Hey Guys,

I have been trying to decide about moving from my 2015 TE250 up to a 2017 TE300.
A couple of the things that are going through my mind are the rims and the oversized tank.

I have the 4.1 gallon Tank from Acerbis for my 250 and while I do not use it all the time, I do like having the range option on a 2 stroke. Is that tank being made yet for the 2017?

Also, I just recently purchased a set of Tusk rims for my Ice tire set up and cannot tell if they will work on the 2017. I got them through Rocky Mountain ATV. I just spoke with them and they both show as having the same part numbers, but in the breakdown the hub number is different. They could not tell me if that was a sizing difference or just a color way change.
So do you know if there is just a difference with the wheel spacers, or are the wheels not compatible at all?

Thanks!

Here are the part #s The 2015 TE250 front hub #77709010044 and the axle #77309081000 rear hub #97310085044 and the rear axle#78010010144
The 2017 front hub #25009010244 and the front axle #77709081033 rear hub #26510010144 and the rear axle #77310085044

The part #s are different so I don't know if they will fit.....

IMS I believe is making a bigger tank already. YES, with a set of 22mm front wheel spacers, your 2015 wheels will fit (the bearing ID is the same, they just changed the axle OD). The rear axle is the same OD as last gen.

Sweet. Thanks guys.
I saw there was the 3.0 gallon ims tank, but stock is 2.9.
I would need the 4.0 gallon. I saw Slavens has the 4 stroke version available.
Don't know if it will cross over.
Like my current tank is not detailed for the husky, just the ktm but it works.

We used to be able to use the 4 stroke tanks, but with the fuel pump for the efi's now days, my GUESS would be no, but I dont know that for sure

The 16TE300 came with a 2.9 gallon tank. The 17TE300 comes with a 2.6 gallon tank like the KTMs.

Doh. That means I definitely need the 4 gallon tank.
Sold my 250 so the 300 is on its way!

Just found out. IMS has 3.6 gallon tanks coming out of production this week.
Jeff Slavens spoke to them today and ordered them for inventory. I took the first one.
Figured it is the largest option for now.
Better than the 2.6 stock
Will be curious this spring to see how fuel economy is on the new engine.

Ok, So what exhaust silencer to use with this bike? I had the Q stealth from FMF on my 2015. It was great. Quiet, and not very expensive.
I need a spark arrestor, and would rather be as quiet as can be.

I have the ole trusty fmf TC 2 in a bag waiting to be installed. Have ran them on so many bikes without issue, I see no reason to change. Passes DB testing at local and national enduros, so its good with me.

Great. That is what I ended up ordering. Just got here.
Just need to get it on!

Thanks!
