  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Oversize tank options for WR300

P

PC.

Husqvarna
AA Class
IMS hasn't updates their Husky options in a while, so the last thing they show is a 3.4gal and 3.9gal for the 2006 WR250. Will this fit the current WR's?

I know Husky changed body styles and added a post for the gas tank to the current frame, but I dont know when. Any help is appreciated!
 
I believe the Husky four strokes '04-'07 share the same tank as the WR 250 and WR 300. Someone on here will confirm.
 
Yep, Adam who will be riding with us Saturday has a 07 WR250 with the IMS tank on it, you can check it out but I am 98% sure it will fit right up. unfortunately if makes his bike feel like a XR650. why they do not make them narrow and low I have no idea. My 94 WXC250 holds 3.4 and is very narrow and carries the fuel WAY lower.

the 94, skinny and look how low it is, the fuel line has to run up to the carb. A large potion of the gas is to the side of the cylinder where the IMS tank is all way up high and wide.

I have a friend with an 09 WR300 and he swears that his IMS tank from his 06 WR250 does not fit the 09. I have not confirmed this with my own 2 eyes though.
 
I´m also interested in a slightly larger Tank! ...not that XR-like TankShip!:thumbsdown:
Looking forward for answers. :thumbsup:

I'll be rather disappointed if they don't. I bought one after being told on this site that they definitely fit.

The tank hasn't turned up yet but as soon as it does I'll let everyone know whether or not it fits.
 
We did not get a chance to try the swap. Adam (07 WR with the IMS) and PC are going to get together soon and try swapping pipes and tanks and see what fits.

09 and 10 WR's have the new frame, so what's the real verdict?????? I'm surprised no one else picked up on that yet in this discussion.
 
Hi All,

I got the IMS tank (Part No: 112415 WR/TE/TC 3.4 Gallon) and it does fit on the '09 WR300. Just make sure that you empty out the swear jar before you start as it was a bit of a wrestle to get it fitted. I've attached a couple of photos below.

I've been for one ride with it fitted and it feels pretty good. I didn't really notice any difference to the stock tank. I definitely prefer the translucent plastic over the stock black colour as you can see the fuel level.

Did you have to cut off and relocate mounting posts?,...Or by that did you just mean that you had to force it to get things to align?....(shrouds and such)........

No, I didn't have to cut anything to make it fit. The radiator shrouds took a bit of forcing to make it all line up and the tank sat a bit to one side and fouled on the forks at full lock. Once I filled it with fuel it settled down into place properly.
 
It appears that the 3.4 gal is a bit slimmer than the 3.9 gal. All I can say is riding with the 3.9 gal was like riding a propane tank. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

Yeah that 3.4 gal. does look like a reasonable compromise. Looks like you may still be able to change the spark plug from the right side,.....?
Adam's even looks like you could get at it from the left side.

Are those two the exact same tank,...or is Adam's the 3.9 gal. model?
The bottom edge of the left lobes of the two just looks somehow slightly different to me. Adam's seems slightly more,....swollen.
 
You can easily get to the spark plug from either side with the 3.4 gallon tank. Here are a couple more photos from a better angle.
