Fangsy Posted November 20, 2015 G'day all. I am wondering what fuel range people are getting with the stock 6.2l tank. Haven't run it dry yet. Road riding mostly keeping to speed limits i'm getiing 80-85km and low fuel light comes on and use about 4.5-5 ltrs. Went to a local beach and 45k (all on beach,no fuel light) used 4.4 ltrs approx. I am trying to decide whether I strap a fuel cell on my back or get an IMS 10ltr tank. Leaning towards the IMS. Has anyone fitted an IMS tank and if so how was the process. I will need to get at least 100kms between refuel with hard riding. Any feedback would be great. Cheers, Fangsy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fangsy Posted December 9, 2015 Cheers Hongie, I have the ADR removed and airbox open also. I got an IMS 10l tank delivered yesterday. Will fit it maybe this weekend. How much different is the bike with the cheery bomb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hongie67 Posted December 9, 2015 Cheers Hongie, I have the ADR removed and airbox open also. I got an IMS 10l tank delivered yesterday. Will fit it maybe this weekend. How much different is the bike with the cheery bomb? To be honest i don't know? Reversed everything from the crate before the first start! Bike feels strong off bottom, little weaker up top! Big engine pulses, caught me out a few times when first getting used to it, stalled it when lugging it up hills! i know to keep the revs up slightly more now! .. I prob will do the big tank before next seasons high country runs! we easy do 200k days! For now its been too hot and dry here for any lengthy rides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fangsy Posted January 24, 2016 I put the new tank on last year and haven't done that much riding since. In the last few weeks I done 138km (30km in bush/hills) and filled up to the max with 8.33ltrs, I haven't had the low fuel light come on yet, so am thinking I should get 150km to a tank. When its cooler up here in NQ ill really test it out with the DSMRA rides which are usually about 100k (90% bush riding). I am very happy I put the bigger tank on, easy fit up and don't notice the extra size when riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegun Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Hi fangsy Can u send me the link where u purchased ur tank from pls. Is the rmz450 tank the one? Cheers Glenn Edited February 8, 2016 by thegun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fangsy Posted February 9, 2016 G'day Glenn. I bought the tank from Springwood Suzuki in Brisbane over the phone. Their number is 07 3208 7999. First I called Future Sport Suzuki in Townsville being the closest to me then Ballards Off Road (NSW) but they did not have one in stock. The tank is RMZ450 & RMX450 (2008-2010), IMS Tank ID:RM19, IMS Part#115529 / 215529. Cost me about $430 I think. Got my sis to pick it up repack it and del to me in NQ. Hope this helps.
