Installation & Maintenance Tips
To ensure maximum lifespan from your new fuel tank, follow these straightforward workshop best practices before hitting the road:
- Pre-Installation Flush: Always rinse the interior of the new tank with half a litre of fresh petrol before bolting it down. This clears any transit packaging dust and ensures clean fuel flows to your fuel filter or carburettor jets.
- Rubber Dampers: Inspect your front frame rubber pucks and rear mount isolators. If your motorcycle has high mileage, replacing hardened rubbers prevents engine vibration transfer to the fuel tank seams.
- Seals & Gaskets: When transferring your fuel tap or pump module, install a fresh fuel-resistant Viton washer or O-ring and apply a thread sealant paste to guarantee a drip-free union.
- Paint Care: After mounting, treat the gloss black paint with a coat of high-grade carnauba paste wax or ceramic detailer to create a protective barrier against road grime and petrol staining.
