[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1349521, member: 18302"] You can always carry two pints or so with you in a fanny pack, and dump them in as soon as you ride 10 miles or so. FWIW, I was able to expand the tank on my '84 from 3.3 gallons to almost 4 gallons (the bike got a lot thirstier when I put a 240 kit in). I did this by draining the tank, and letting the bike sit in the hot sun for awhile. Then add a couple of gallons of near boiling water to get the plastic soft. Let it sit for a bit, then take an airhose and add some pressure to the tank's vent hose. The tank will blow up like a balloon. Pinch the vent hose off with a clamp, and let it cool. The tank will shrink back as it cools, but you should pick up some capacity. FWIW, you don't need to add much air pressure. Also, if you go this route, do it with the tank on the bike - you don't want it expanding in ways that keep you from putting it back on! Since you can find a stock tank replacement, it might be worth the risk. BTW, if your jetting is too rich, lean it out some and that will also help your range. And if you know you are going on a long ride, try not to do sustained high rpm wide open runs. [/QUOTE]
