lots of ppl were bustin my ***** for getting a gixer750 for a stuntbike.. hope i dont regret it! i guess i will dent the new tanK!

 

i love it. **** em if they can't take a joke.

bike was made out of two wrecked bikes. the tank was already smashed on the side. sometimes if you jump too quick your nuts get crushed on the outside of the tank!! haha!! as far as gas...****!! i carry a screwdriver to jimmy the cap. if that doesn't work i use the allan key to take the whole cap off!!

 

I used jb weld to seal 2 leaks on my takn

lasted about 3 months before the jb weld got 'gummy' and started leaking..

After it got gummy, I was able to just peel it right off the tank



After that tried "gas tank seal all" from walmart.. said right on it "for fixing leaks in gas cans"

it lasted about 6 months, before it started to leak again.. Its still on there, not gummy, and it doesn't leak bad.. But if you wheelie a lot, there gets to be like a 1 inch trail of gas running down the tank




People say jb weld works, but it didn't for me on NEITHER of my holes...

But I still use jb weld to seal oil leaks in crank cases and ****...




edit: I've heard bondo seals gas leaks.. But I'm iffy about trying it

I would hate to do the work of bondoing, sanding, painting, just for 3 months later gas to be cracking and ruining my paint..

 

i think jb weld's good but you should...A. run the tank dry as many times as it'll fire up. even the vapors left behind will **** up adhesion. B. sand the area around the hole and clean it. the cleaner the better.C.give it sufficient drying time. not saying it'l never leak again, but you'll get some good time out of it.


here's another one. this ****** hurts!!!haha!!

 

i only used jb on my crankcase and it never leaked.. guess it does not like gas tanks.. hope i never have to use it!.. better to get another tank than to bother with bondo!

 

Towlieeee ... your one of the worst characters ever!!

My friend is has been rocking an 06 750 for a few months now he seems to like it.

 

this one mind i did it in like 10 mins i got **** cause it had already a dent from the knees and it cracked alittle bit so i just started pounding on this tank and it crack half way around the gas cap and on the top right

 

but a good welder weld my tank and bondo it so no cracks no more

 

the reason is because they are called fixers...for a reason.....

1,subframe is week,,,REAL WEAK....
2,upper stay,weak also
3,get a oil pick up.....asap
4,do not get a fi cage....youll thank yourself later....

 

Correct


and frames snap when you come back down to hard on a wheelie or if you mouse trap alot

 

thats part of the reason why i bought the "05 i want to keep my minty.. well minty. cant wait to beat up the stunbike inthe spring. got a sic inno engine cage on order.. hoping to pick up my omr sub cage in person :YEAH
stuntex oil/p/u in the works.

thanks again dboy!

 

Here's my first dent. I have to agree w/ Guru's post, Bullo has the nastiest tank dent.....EVER......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTLhI9RSLsA

 

im pretty sure my tank is the worst. ever. i heard it originally came from somebody on this site.. off a black 03/04 636, then was painted white without being stripped..


anyone recognize it?


heres what it looks like with fresh paint



ill save the bondo-ing for another winter haha

 

Those are some nasty tanks, holy ****

 

what is the best way to do it? i see guys jumping on it to get it started.. there has to be a better way than that!

 

That's an easy way to start. If you're not wanting to do that, just start with a rubber hammer, start around the gas cap and work your way out. Tell ya what, get ahold of KJ on SL, he does a lot of tanks, he can tell you more.

 

thanks.

 

A dead-blow, and a small rubber mallet. I've heard some guys can start a good dent by jumping on it, but I wouldn't try it. Get yourself a slightly rashed tank off ebay, your minty tank is worth too much $ to acciDENTally(lol) **** it up. Granted, a minty tank is easier to dent, but IMO I'ld rather practice on a $100 tank than one that's worth $4-500. Good luck!
