XR650R Fuel Range
To any guys/gals in the know. With a long range tank fitted i.e. Acerbis 24 or IMS 27 ltr, what sort of fuel range have you got? Planning a jaunt down the west coast of Africa next year and trying to make rough estimates. Any info would be gratefully received. Cheers - Bob

XR650r range
I just fitted a 6.6 gallon on mine , driving on dirt and sandy road at good speed with a 200+ pounds rider ,I get about 200 miles , by the way the 6.6 feel lighter than the 4.3, the cenetr of gravity is much lower on it.

XR range
I use the acerbis 6.6 gallon, it fit perfectly and even protect the radiator, I still have the 4.3 but once you fit the 6.6 you may never look back ,as far as the subframe mod mine has a support from Turbo city XR 650R Sequoia Rack.
I did have the rack modified to my need. Good luck

with IMS 27l tank which seemed to take 28-29l once I'd had it a while:
- 550-600km on the road at 90kmh. (22-23kpl) - 400km+ of really soft sand and shite. (15kpl) remember to brace the IMS and not screw it to the radiators - it pulls them apart at high speed and can mash them in a fall
