    WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc 09 WR300 fuel/gas tank

I dont understand why Clarke would design a tank with the fuel up high and not down low like the IMS tanks for Husky and the KTM 300. Nothing against your ride just Clarke.
;)

It is made for the 4 strokes which have taller engines. I understand that from an engineering standpoint, lower weight would be better, but I have full access to the engine without removing the tank and I cant feel the weight anyway .... but I am a big guy.

How do you mean you didnt notice any difference?

Size?
Weight (full)?
Fuel range? :)

Size: No appreciable difference while you're riding.
Weight: As above.
Fuel range: Much better. I haven't run out yet but estimate about 140km of mixed tight trails with a little bit of fire trail.

Hangon, did I read that correctly, you fitted a 4 stroke tank to the WR300?

Actually the dealer told me about it. Yes it is a 4 stroke tank, and yes it bolts right on.
 
For what it is worth i have a 2006 TE 510
2006 WR 250
2006 CR 125
2008 CR 125
all use the same IMS 3.4 gas tank they interchange between all the bikes

and I presume it fits the 2009 wr250/300 as well from what I read...

where are you guys buying these tanks? Does someone we like (motoxotica, taskys, halls, bills, motsportz, moto-tech) stock them? I don't really want to special-order one from justgastanks.com and wait 4-6 weeks.

I got the Clarke from Bills. He does stock some. Also you can order direct www.clarkemfg.com

It's so you can still use your pipe wrench to take the plug out
