Acerbis 23
 
Ive been looking for an Acerbis tank for my xt600e and am resigning myself to having to buy new as I'm off to Scotland at the end of May and would like the extra mileage.
I'm after a bit of advice, what's peoples opinions on whether it's worth getting locking cap or not, will original locking cap fit an Acerbis tank (trying to save money!) and could anyone recommend who to buy an Acerbis tank off, Blood sweat tears, Dave lambeth, ?

Any opinions welcome

Tom

I have the XT600e
I couldn't tell you whether or not the original locking cap will fit but I have a locking cap on my Acerbis, it was on when I got the bike, and I don't think I have ever locked it, even when I was on my Balkans trip

XT600 23L acerbis tank
 
Hi Tom,

Ijust bought the 22L acerbis tank for a XR400 from FC MOTO in Germany.

It's not arrived yet, but when it does I can let you know of the service etc, as they sell the XT600E 23L tank also.

Here's the clicky: Acerbis Yamaha XT600 23L Fuel Tank - FC-Moto English - Nr. 1 in Price for Motorcycle Helmets, Fighter Helmet and Clothes in Europe

Hope it's what you are looking for!

David Lambeth is also a good bet, I had some engine work done by him and he's a good egg.

I think FC Moto also sell the locking fuel caps.

The original doesnt fit to Acerbis tank you have to buy a new lockable cap.

If you are interest there is an acerbis tank(not new) for XT here in Greece sell for 150euros.

Well My 22L Acerbis XR400 Tank arrived from Germany two days ago.

Looks great and fits lovely on My TTR250, just need to knock up some front brackets out of 6mm ali to position it correctly.

Can't fault the service from FC Moto, and the Acerbis tank looks great quality. Comes with 2 petcocks, some fuel tube and other gubbins.

Trying to locate one as well
 
Hi, I also look for a larger tank for my TTR250, got confusing info from various places. Would you by any chance have the part number for the one that "fits" please ?

Edit: The bike is in Canada now, wish to buy in the States, the link to FC moto doesn't inform on part number. Tks in advance!

TTR250 tank
 
I just fit this tank to my TTR250, But you will need to make custom brackets from 6mm aluminium to fit.

Acerbis Honda XR 250R / 400R 22 Liter Fuel Tank - FC-Moto English

For fitting advice...

Bigger tank for your TTR? - TTR250

Seat is a little tighter than it was before, but no dramas really.

Hope that helps.
