    I am wondering if I need to make a crossover on my stock wr tank. It seems as if the fuel on the right side would have no way to make it over

    I did it to a WR tank as I thought the same thing but in reality when I ran out of fuel it barely had enough left in the right side to limp back to the pits that were around a 1/2 mile away so it would of been just as easy to tip the bike on its side to achive the same thing, Would of thought if road riding it may be of some benifit .

    My mates bike has this but tbh if your on reserve you need to fill up regardless of how little you thinks on the otherside.
    And with all the motion of dirt riding its more then likly its shaken its way to the petcock side anyway.

    Do it youve nothing to loose and it may make you feel happyer knowing your tanks completly empty.

    i have a 93 with the dual petcocks and a 99 with a single
    off road it bounces enough to not be an issue
    on road i would see it as a problem
    i have run both empty and the 93 i usually leave the auxiliary petcock closed
