Dominick Johnston Posted October 1, 2019 Anybody ever notice that when they run a 3.2 gallon tank on a yz125 that it just feels like to much weight up front and you just have a super hard time pulling the front end up to either cross over a obstacle or just holding a wheelie when its filled up compared too a stock 2 gallon tank?? or is this just me... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bweighmaster Posted October 1, 2019 3.2 gal. Is right at 25 lbs. Double the original weight ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KcDavis My Ride Posted October 1, 2019 3.2 gal. Is right at 25 lbs. Double the original weight ..... Double? From 2 gallons to 3.2? A gallon of gas weighs, approximately, 6.3 lbs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikedabike Posted October 1, 2019 I have the 3.2 on mine. I don't notice much if any difference. It carries the weight really low. Plus I only fill it up if I need the range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My son felt the difference on his 250 so no doubt there's going to be a big difference in a 125. My advice to him was shift his weight further back than normal when needing to get front up, he seems to like it now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razza Posted October 2, 2019 Like Mike said, the tank if anything improves the bikes handling characteristics. Flat corners like a monster. And they still have plenty of power to lift the front wheel. Here's my 125: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YZDOC Posted October 2, 2019 Zip Ty made by IMS puts the fuel lower in CG. You might be experiencing a higher CG and that throws the 125 bike worse than the 250. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only fix, is replace, otherwise learn and live with it. Don't think it make a huge difference when full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razza Posted October 3, 2019 I have the same Clarke tank. Remember it's a 125 and no matter the size tank it's going to need a bit of throttle and clutch. They won't lift the wheel without being in the powerband. The Clarke tank is fine don't bother replacing it Is there anyway to fix ? This is the tank I have.

Is the oem tank filled up at 2 gallons is 12.5 lb and the zip ty at 3.2 gallon is 25 lb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
