125-200cc IMS '08-'09 TXC/TC tank on '09 WR125?

Has anyone with an '09 WR/CR125 try the IMS TXC tank yet? Fran Bottone talked to Raymond at Hall's and they haven't done it yet. The OEM tank part numbers are different between 4T carb and 2T bikes. In fitting rad guards, there seem to be some differences in the 4T and 2T new style frames. Friend has '09 TXC250 with IMS tank, next week I'll get to try his tank on my bike. I was hoping to get an answer sooner, so I can get it on the way for my upcoming enduro.

I was under the impression that the 08 and up 4 stroke tanks are identicle to the new 09 2 stroke tanks...

they are however... different.... the ball ramp is integral on the 2T tank...but the mounting looks very much the same to me.....

Get that bike, so you can figure all these fitment issue out for us!
Did Husky release the next round of 125's yet?

If I have time tomorrow, I will put an IMS tank on an 09 WR125 so everyone will know for sure.

Thanks Scot!

No dice. It doesnt fit an 09 Wr125.

Thanks Scott! You just saved me a big cluster, if I had ordered it.

No problem. My buddy is in a knot now as he ordered a WR125 for himself but wants a big tank. He assumed it would fit as well.

So why doesn't it fit? I was going to get a 09 CR125 and Jay Hall told me the IMS tanks from the 08' 4 strokes would fit.....



The newer frame 2 strokes CR/WR 125 should have the same tank as the 4st. right?

Same style frame, but different. Stock 125 tank has different part number than stock TXC/TC tank. Like I said in my first post.... Raymond at Hall's said they hadn't tried one yet and wouldn't commit to it fitting. We were all assuming, but we were wrong.

I want the tank on Johnathan Manzi's WR125 in this photo.....

I'm going to zip tie 2 pint oil bottles of pre-mix in the airbox where the battery would be. In an AMA sanctioned enduro it's against rules to carry extra fuel, so I'll need to spot some fuel at a reset. I don't think I can make the nearly 50 miles to gas stop or gas availible that most events are doing. I envy guys who have support crew at every reset on the road.

I guess I could glue an LED bike headlight to it to get through tech inspection!

It isnt as big of a deal in Canada as we must have a gas available every 50kms (35miles). The 125s have been so good on fuel for the last few years, I dont think that the range is going to be as awful as some people think. My buddy can go 2hrs 20mins on a tank on his 08 CR125 and he is a legit "A" HS racer.

The 08 is 2.5 gallons though. On my wr with a 36mm carb I can get 65 miles of trail riding if I take it easy on the road sections. I think the 09 is 1.8 gallons! I hope there is going to be a big tank option otherwise I don't see myself ever buying one.

I hoped the IMS would fit as I really like the new one compared the the huge modle that fits my 06.
