    I'm hoping the new tank won't get in the way too much! The new size is 9l, used to be about 5l, so that's heaps

    9L should be enough , wouldn't have thought your bike would be particularly thirsty

    At the 90k loop at TB I had to fill up at both fuel stops, so it'll be awesome not to have to worry about refuelling so much on big loops
    Hope you a lot of people with deep pockets when b'day and xmas comes round!!! Whats the bottom end power like on it?

    I don't have a whole lot to compare it too, but I think it does alright for a little 2 stroke. Allegedly better bottom end than an 85 (which is why I went for it over an 85) but I have no idea since I've not ridden one!

    flyingcr250: That's what I'm planning on doing too Got a big heavy full tank at the moment since I was all excited about being able to almost empty a whole jerry can in there...Aah, the things that'll entertain me... Hope I can still push it up the ramp, should be right tho.
    Sort of wish I hadn't been so impulsive about shaving the seat now, it'll be good in the long run but now I have to recover it on saturday which will probably take a while so no harrisville practise

    Nah recovering a seat is easy make sure you got a grunty staple gun and use a heat gun(wifes hair dryer) to warm it up

    Took me about 1/2 an hour to do mine
    Im sure im the only person in this world with a shaved seat EVERYONE is fascinated with it when they see it
    Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses

    yea 10ltrs of fuel on top of a big heavy ktm is a bit of a killer when your stuck on the side of a slippery hill.
