• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I just P/U a 06 WR 250 and will order a 3.9 gallon IMS tank, was wondering if anyone has one and what color did you go with. I was leaning towards the white, but the fading warning has made me go to the Black.

JZEE,

I bought the 3.9 with the clear color and had no problems, but I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Visualize riding a propane tank. It is that wide and carries all the weight that high. I have had a 3.4 gallon IMS on my WR360 for a couple of years now and really like it with absolutely no problems.

I would sudgest you at least look at one in the flesh before you order or try the smaller 3.4 gallon or the Clarke as I have heard that it has a much slimmer shape. I converted my 06 WR250 to 04 plastic and tank. It is much slimmer, carries 2.9 gallons, and the 04 seat reduced seat height by about an inch. This is a somewhat costly conversion, but I like my 06 a lot better with this setup even if it doesn't look as modern.

Hope that helps,
Walt
 
I have the 3.9 IMS that I share between my TE-510 and WR-250. Nice that one tank fits both bikes. I only put on for the long distance runs.
Yes it is huge, works great for those very long runs however I would go with the smaller IMS or Clarke if using every day.
 
I should have asked this in the original post. What king of mileage do you get??? I would get 55-65 out of my 2002 640e, and I get about 45-50 out of my uncorked 08 Te 610. This is my first 2 smoker in many years. What kinda of range will I get out of the stock 2.5? *(80-100) I will ride it for the first time this weekend on a 240 mile loop. with fuel stops in the 55 to 85 mile range, with the stock tank. I would say fairly aggressive riding.
 
IMHO 85 miles you might be walking, I would not ask more than 60 from my stock tank, however that is tight PA woods and mountains.
