Glydene Posted March 27, 2010 Will a 2005 CRF250R (motocross) Fuel (petrol) tank fit a 2005 CRF250X and if so do I need the tap or will the X tap with reserve work ? Cheers.👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopper61 Posted March 28, 2010 Yes you can use the R tank on your X. It will fit without modification other than you'll need to use the bracket from the front of the X tank or else you can use the bracket from the R and then drill and tap a new hole in the frame in the correct location. You can also swap the fuel lines,tank fitting,and petcock from the X if you want to retain the reserve feature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chopper61 Posted March 30, 2010 why are 250r's so much skinnier? than a 250x The R models have less capacity thus they are "skinnier". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tvalliere220 My Ride Posted March 30, 2010 The R models have less capacity thus they are "skinnier". ya but the plastics still go to the radiators so it would still be the same width Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hit_the_set Posted March 30, 2010 The tank sticks out over the frame and that's what makes it wider. The R tank sits inside the frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
