My petrol tank had been off the bike for a couple of months while I did some other works. Now the tank won't refit, it has increased in width and length, by 1/4 inch, so the forks now touch on full lock, and I can't get rear mounting bolt through hole.
A quick search of internet and I discover its down to the petrol and is common to many other plactic tanks on Ducati's, KTM's Harley, BMW etc,
And the swelling will reduce if tank left dry and venting for a few weeks - is this right????
What options do we have, an alloy custom made tank seems an expensive (and long wait), any one have one thats a replica of original??
