I've never ridden it far.  I always fill up when I return to camp/parking area.  Longest run was maybe 30 miles, sucks it down pretty far.  Stock tank is 1.9 gal.  On my bike you have to do some major heating of the after market tank to form it to fit.  I don't think it will add much by the time you make it fit.  Your engine may sit different in a 250 compared to the 450 chassis.

That's a sweet pic danger. How well do you do on fuel with the af? Jerry is setting up a 06kxf250 aluminum frame for me but the biggest tank I can get for that bike is 2.8 gallon ims. I'm worried I'm gunna run out of gas on that new bike

why don't you fill a couple of coke bottles with gas and put it in your backpack?. (LOL I WASN'T SERIOUS)

funny you should say that... when i was younger thats exactly what I did. I couldn't afford the 250 bucks for an oversized tank. Any extra money i had was spent on camping supplys to get me up to the mountains to ride! We even duck taped Mag Lights to our front fenders so we could go out on night rides!

....awww the good oll days...

I always found that an antifreeze jug strapped to the number plate was the easiest way to do it.

That is a pic overlooking Comox lake in Cumberland bc. Its a rather old pic and unfortunately they did a bit of clear cutting since then :x. the path to get there was quite difficult on the little kx80, it was very narrow, steep, long, and rocky, it was a challenge but well worth it imo. Cant wait to finish rebuilding my bike and get out riding again  :-D

My woods are a little different from the woods back East. The timber isn't very thick but the terrain is a blast. I have a tough time choosing between the K5 or the 450f,,, both do the job. The K5 has the Gnarly, Steahly flywheel, windowed Wiesco, kips bolt mod. Excellent low-end grunt. The 450F has EFI, all-wheel-drive, engine braking, more comfortable to ride.
