[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1409558, member: 68872"] Two weeks ago I was racing in the first district enduro of the year, UMC 'not so tuff" enduro (D37). I got messed up, nose dived into a gulley and managed to crush the gas tank. Even have helmet cam video of it! [URL=http://www.youtube.com/user/RodMcInnis#p/a/u/0/-nAy87KxMEI]http://www.youtube.com/user/RodMcInnis#p/a/u/0/-nAy87KxMEI[/URL] Have you ever rode 20 miles soaked in gasoline? Not fun. A little (OK, a LOT) of duct tape, a change of clothes and I was able to complete the second loop, but it is looking like my trusty old steed may be down for the count as finding a new tank has been a lot more difficult than I had considered. I can find new tanks for an 89-93 WR250, but not the '94 to '97 model. After poking around for a while I have found several references to a '94 to '97 WR250 is able to use the same gas tank as a '93 to '95 IF the YZ seat is also used. I am pretty sure that my bike had an oversized IMS tank. It is definitely large and was translucent, quite different than the image of the stock tank on the exploded parts diagrams. Unfortunately, IMS doesn't list a tank for my bike. Nor does Clarke. Does anyone have first hand experience with WR250 vs YZ125 gas tanks / seats? I am considering buying a used stock tank off Ebay, but if I have the YZ seat then its not going to work. I am going to hate to retire this bike just because of a gas tank. Can anyone tell me how I can identify the seat on my bike as being a stock WR250 or a YZ-125? Thanks Rod [/QUOTE]
