250-500cc tank bolt issues

i keep bending my tanks bolt now that ive put on the IMS tank. anyone else have issues or am i doing something wrong?

there is a monster gap between the frame and tank but the tank sits down on the rubber tabs fine.

Mine busted clean off and had to retap it. So yes your not the only one. I seriously doubt i will buy another wr300 unless ims makes a tank specifically for this bike. It bugs me that much

im in the same boat right now. mines had a rough last 2 weeks.

as far as i can tell im bending a bolt per ride. i dug out a broken bolt last weekend, put a new one in, only rode 50 miles, had to pull the tank off and lo n behold the new bolts bent already.

Its not the IMS tank. My bike has always had stock tank, and I am on my second, now ever so slightly bent, bolt as well. Just a goofy design. I like how quick the tank comes off though, so I don't mind as long as it doesn't cleave off like Firecrotch's. That would pi$$ me off. I just keep checking it from time to time and see if it needs replaced.
