gn250 tank swap

[Zerker]

So i pulled upto another gn250 this morning and it had the usual mods, motorcross handle bars, sr250 seat but i couldnt figure out what the tank was from. I could do with a larger capacity tank on mine, so any suggestions for bigger tanks that will swap straight over?3

I doubt you'll find anything that just bolts on. The good news is the mount at the front is easy to modify and making a rear mount is a walk in the park.
I'm considering a late 70's Kawasaki KZ440/650 etc tank for my GN, no idea if it'll fit, but I'll bash the prick till it does.
I'll take anything though
The standard GN tank is pretty small

Trip to work and back is 10km round trip so not in a big hurry. But i would like to be able to do bigger trips and stock gn tank isnt much bigger than my old scooters 12l in scoot and 17 in gn?

Gn's have a 12L tank, 9L to reserve.

Surely 12 litres would take it around 300kms?

He would be due for a break after 300 km's on a GN250 ...

I've never run one dry, but my current one is managing 3.6L/100km average while it had a rooted headgasket and rings.
