Suzuki DR650 - Acerbis 6.6 Gallon Gas Tank - Install...It Works
Ойын-сауық
I'm no certified tech and I managed to install the Acerbis 6.6 Gallon Gas Tank on my Suzuki DR650 and it seemingly works too!
That's right, I needed a little more range on my DR650! Having to stop every 100 miles or so and put gas in it was beginning to become a chore, not to mention constantly having to think about mileage while out in the bush. Now, after installing the big ol 6.6 gallon Acerbis tank I can just ride and ride and ride. No...really. I've pretty much doubled my range from 120 miles to an easy 250 miles. The following ride and review videos (two part) of the tank will show this.
However, I thought I'd first show how the install went and overall I'd say it wasn't too bad. As I mentioned, I'm no tech and I think I got it done pretty good without screwing anything up. That's what I'm thinking thus far anyway. The least pleasant part of the install process was dealing with the turn signals but I managed to figure that out. So, if you're considering one of these tanks check out this video and know that it's not terribly complicated to get it on. I do need to pull the tank off and add a little more padding to stop a slight bit of tank wobble but other than that, all is well. Few more videos following this one on the ride/review and then adding the padding then it's back to the desert!
BTW, this video shouldn't be used as instruction for the install but we all know that...right.
Thanks For Watching!

Yeah, it looks huge when you're holding it but once it's on the bike it's not so overwhelming. Actually fits pretty good. I'll have two videos coming up on the ride/review. Thanks for watching!
I love this tank, but I only put the petcock on left side, if it leaks it won't be leaking on the exhaust. In 20000km not once did i have to lean the bike on the left side to get that extra bit of gas, as I get between 450-500km on a tank. For the tank rubbing against the oil radiator guard, you can find people putting a second rubber on the frame near the front (like there is under the rear of the tank, and also adding shock bushings or door stops on the brackets on the side of the frame to push the tank outside a bit and give it more support and more room, but Acerbis should fix their design to compensate…. Cheers!
Ive got this one on my 650, looks nice,
Going to order mine in Natural this week going on a white '09. Great video!

Appreciate you watching! T Rex Racing crash guards.
Nice work! It will be interesting to hear what kind of range you get with that big tank. Does the bike feel any different with with tank full? Just wondering if you can feel the weight of the extra gas?

Thanks, appreciate you watching! I have two more videos following this one coming out about the ride/review (range) of the tank. Since I also ride a KLR650 and am somewhat used to a very top heavy bike, this tank (full) on the DR650 hasn't bothered me.
it seems a little tight around the rad....full tank will move enough to cause a problem...keep an eye for wear....nice color for the bike.

It is tight around the oil cooler, going to add some padding to the frame to hopefully add a little more space at the oil cooler and also fill space if that makes sense.
Did you end up using the pro cycle turn signal brackets? You mentioned it was challenging, but didn't show the install orientation of the brackets, or did I miss it?
What did you end up doing about the oil cooler?

Going to add some padding to the frame.
Does this kind of tank fit 125-150 cc bikes

I believe it may be model specific, this tank fits my DR650.
If I was going to steal your gas. Pull the gas line off let the gas drain into a container that locking gas cap not going to work 😮

Sounds like you've done this before. Most locks are merely an illusion, you can get into anything if you want to spend the time doing it.
