Got an email from Aqualine in Australia saying they "definately" are coming out with a larger fuel tank for the injected 610's. They say they will have more info in May. It would probably be a good idea to send them an email and let them know if you are interested in a larger fuel tank for the 610ie. Anyway-it was good news to mine ears. Sure hope they put the fuel way down low and use the fuel pump to an advantage. No idea what size or cost or anything like that. Given that Acerbis and IMS and Clark have all turned down the idea of a larger tank, and given the 610 is the premier dual sport bike on earth, well, i think Aqualine is gonna be surprised by demand. Send them an email!! http://www.rvaqualine.com.au/page.php?sId=5
Mike: Great news! Thanks for keeping the 610 in their sights. Yes - you can have the first one! Howard
I got this today: "Thank you for your enquiry, we do not have one available yet but we are going to be making one latter in the year, it is planned to be about 24 liters, if you want to contact us again towards the end of May we should have a lot more information." I was at the Husky Dealer here today and was told that there is 20 liter tank out right now for the FI 610TE.
Ummmm, yeah. Thats cool. Did he happen to mention who makes that 20 litre tank, or where one could get one?
I will ask. I thought it was strange too. I figured that I would of found out about a new tank right here first on this site. I did question him and ask if it was for a 08 610TE. He said yes.
I cant help but think its the 5 gallon IMS tank for the non-EFI 610 he is thinking about. But--who knows. IMS, Clark, Acerbis have all said they wont make a tank for the '08-'09 TE610Fi bikes.
Well I just called. The Tank is IMS and it's 4.5 gallons. Right now they can only get clear tanks. (That could be 4.5 Imp gallons.)
If thats the case, thats big news for sure. Lots of guys would love a 4.5 gallon tank for the EFI bikes. I will still hold out for the 6 gallon Aqualine, but its great IF in fact IMS has a tank! (not doubting you, just surprised) Thanks for taking the time to call them and find out the info.
No problem, I just hope that the infor is correct. It's what the Dealer told me. Again I asked is it for an 08 610TE with FI.
??? IS THE SMR610 THE SAME? Am I invisible or do you all just pass me up because I am an A-hole? See post #11
You are fading in and out. I can't see you... I have no idea if it's the same as the SMR610. I have never seen an 08 SMR610 next to an 08 610TE to know if they have the same tank. I would think that they are the same tanks, but????
Hello Palmer84one: According to the 2008 Parts Catalog the 610 SM uses the same tank as the TE610, or at least they don't show a different part number. Howard Snell
Smr610 Thanks guys, I am only asking because 1) I will soon be the owner of a 08 SMR610 2) I am to lazy to look up Parts Catalogs to see if they are, Thanks Howard70 That's what my face will look like for the rest of my life. OK it's late I gotta get some sleep if I can.
