hey guys, my dad has a 3.4 gallon tank to put on his 02 CR250 ( which is soon to be mine). i like the tank, and the fact that it gets me extra laps without stopping for gas in h/s's, but at speed it pushes quite a bit. its perfectly fine at low speed. is there any way to offset this or just learn to live with it?

dang...u must be an excellent rider to notice a whooping 3 lb difference like that. i mean..there could be other problems if its pushing out in corners. Like wrong front tire for terrain...suspension not set up right...not just the blame on the gas tank.

no suspension is good ( W.E.R. ) and tire is fine too. im not that great of a rider, but i can notice when a bike pushes and when it doesnt.
