    2011 WR250, what are my choices for a oversize tank? Not having much luck finding one. Clarke or IMS? This is the only drawback to this bike I have found is aftermarket part availablilty. Thanks Jeff.

    i had an IMS on my 300. found that it really shortened the life span of the tank bolt. it would bend the 1st ride and 2nd ride it was all over and i had to drill it out of the mount hole. the one i had for my 125 (also IMS) never gave me this problem.

    Thanks, being a toolmaker I could easily make a stronger bolt. I will call Halls and ask them what they use.

    See my graphic related post, thats an IMS tank ive had on for 40hours. the only problem i had was someone overightened the tank bolt and it snapped off so i replaced it with a aircleaner bolt from a CRF450x. just had to grind down the buttfly nut.

    Thats funny because I've had an IMS tank on my wr250 for acouple of years with no bolt issues. Then last weekend I removed the tank to install my BRAND NEW lectron carb. LOL. Guess what? My tank bolt was bent, not sure why, may be one of the half dozen or so crashes since last time I had it off. Who knows. Oh well just straightened it in the vise. Did I mention my my new lectron?
