    I've been thinking about adding a larger tank for some of the dual sport rides I'm planning this year. I have always used IMS in the past as they have great customer service but the only tank they have for the TE 300 is 3.1 gallons. Not much help. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, George

    I've sent an email to Acerbis asking if the KTM tank will fit the Husky. It does not look like there are many options. May be back to carrying fuel in bottles.

    Acerbis has a 4.2 gallon which I have on my 14 TE300. They also have a 5.2 gallon tank. I got my tank from cyclebuy.com

    I forgot to say you have to trim the front of the seat to make the KTM tank fit, but that is no big deal, easy job.

    the race team were using KTM tanks with white KTM plastic and Husky graphics to get more tank size, you can see the 2014 race bikes from some of the series like GNCC for example. I heard that they were told to cease and only use Husky stuff. the base chassis is XC Kato so the tank hard mount points are the same, the plastic mount points are not (Husa/Husq vs KTM plastic design). So if you are really into a big tank I would go with the XC Kato tank and do whatever mods are desired. Its only an issue of plastics adjustments/cuts/grinds etc, simple mods.

    Thanks for all the info. I received a reply from Acerbies and they do not currently make a tank (4+- gallon) for the TE300. They were unsure if the KTM 2stk would transfer. I really would just like about an extra gallon so I will probably just carry some extra in bottles or consider one of the auxiliary tanks.

    Not to sell more Lectrons but... Many customers are getting 3-6 more MPG with the Lectrons and not needing a bigger tank. If your bike holds 2.5 gallons you might get 10-15 more miles out of it. Just sold one to a friend with a YZ250 and he is not taking his big tank off as he has much more range. Just food for thought ot a different way to slice it. My personal Lectron equipped bikes are seeing this increase. My WR500 2 stroke beast is getting 6+ MPG better than the stock carb and has a 3.5 gallon tank so I gained 21+ miles range which is huge for me. I went form about 60 miles range to like 85.

    I had not thought of the Lectron, that's certainly an option. I hope to do a mileage test this weekend and the Lectron may get me the right numbers.

    Yep that thing is a tanker. Saved me from having to push into Trona. Call Ty and ask what he has. I think it may be an IMS? Not sure if Dalton's HnH bike has a larger than stock tank, but if it does, that's a much closer match.
