Larger Fuel Tank And A Fuel Issue

motohillbilly · 04-13-2008, 09:35 PM

Ok here is the deal. I have noticed that my bike pings. Its a low octane ping. I tuned my bike with 93 so thats what I run every time. BUT I changed gas stations. This station has only one hose for all three grades of fuel. I was trying to figure why I had this ping. Whith only buying 1.5 gal at a time I was getting whatever the last person got. I calculated the line fill from an API chart. The hose holds .92 gal of gas. So Im paying premium price for 87 oct fuel. Any how this started my desire for a larger tank. Has anyone found it yet.If so where?

Moto, this was just in the 'for sale' thread...Member 'ferrit' is selling his Roketa with a large Clarke tank--I am not saying he'll sell you his tank, but pm him to see where he got it, and if there was any trick to installing it.

If you figure out or hear which model Clarke tank fits........
PLEASE POST IT! Checked thei website and it's not clear which one he used. They have a 3.7 gallon, but he says 4. Maybe he's rounding up? I'd like to no as much as possible before I spend that kind of dough on an accessory.

I have a dr350 tank that I am trying to fit to my bike. It is just on hold at the moment.

That clark tank look to be a nice fit on that roketa. I also want the header wrap.
