    That's the old frame and it won't fit the 125/x-lite frame.

    None of those bikes have the same frame as his 2012 WR125...

    In 2009 (I think), the 125s went to a "new style" frame. The 250s and 300s never changed over, and had the "old style" frame until their demise this year.

    2009 was the first year of the x lite frame for the 125 and is the same through 2014. All prior years iMS tanks will not
    fit. 2006 through 2013 WR250 frames are the same. Prior years will not fit.

    The IMS 2.9 tank for the newer frame is only 2.5 gallons. I just bought one and measured it with water from a graduated container. WTF? Stock WR125 is the same size... :banghead: Got the natural one so at least I can see through it. I talked with IMS and they made a mold change in 6/12 so if you have one without the 'provisions' for the TC fuel pump, you probably will have 2.9 gallons. Bummer.

    No. They permanently reduced the size by reworking the mold to work with the fuel pump issue out. If you can find an older tank with a marking of 6/12, or an earlier date, it will be 2.9 gal.
