  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc IMS GAS TANK 3.4 GALON 09-12 WR 300

2006 to 2008 CR WR
2006 to 2012 Wr 250/300
2006 to 2008 TE/TC all the same tank come on guys it is a dirt bike the tank fits ok I have many races with no problem Just raced the national in Idaho and used my 2006 tank on my 2011 Wr 300 the tank is 6 years old and I had no problems 3.4 gallons only get me maybe 50 miles at race speed does not matter if I am on the 125/165 or the 300
 
After having two races with the big fat tank installed, here is my $.02.

Install was flawless, quality of the IMS tank is great. The only problem with assembly was the nutplates are a touch (maybe 1/32") to close together and I had to file out the holes a little on the petcock. I don't fill the tank all the way up, maybe .75gal from full, and I can notice the weight difference while racing hare scrambles. My guess is because the weight is carried a little higher. The width is about 3/4" wider on each side, this is noticeable upon first ride but doesn't effect me while racing. Would I like to have my stock tank back? yes. Do I regret buying the IMS tank? No

If you are only filling it up .75 of the way up Why are you then using the IMS tank A stock tank is 11 quarts.I run a extention on my stock tank with a dry break and the tank holds 3 gallons now.So for races under 45 miles I run the stock one and for longer races I run the IMS

Price, I looked at getting the dry break add on but didn't want that. Some of our races will be around 50miles, so 3 gallons will be pushing it. The last two races have put me right in the reserve window with 3 gallons in the tank.

Do you have any photos of the extention with dry break, where did you get it, and was it a difficult install?
 
How are you guys running out of gas at 45 miles? I did 60 the other day and still had just under 2 gallons left in my 3.4 gallon tank. I did 110 miles on a tank once. And no I don't just put around.

I get close to 60mi on singletrack with the stock tank before turning on reserve. But in the desert, not so much. I ran out at just under 40mi once when I was wfo a lot. Typically, I have to pull a higher gear and keep rpms low and can squeeze mid 50's out of it if I am in the desert.

I did 100+ miles on my old yzf426 with an IMS 3.4 gal tank, but never got that out of a 2 stroke.
 
I usually ride trail but that 110 mile day had about 50 on a road tryin to get back to camp. We were far from camp. Then we took a wrong turn. 30 miles in the wrong direction. That sucked. The bike really sucked it down then. So I understand.
