HAHAHAHA love it


yeah I got a floppy tank also on the new f4i. I'm going to use some weatherstripping from a car I think. did it on the 900 dinosaur back in the day and it worked good. I hate a floppy tank. I get up there for a christ dismount and I'm flopping all over the place swerving looking like a drunk christ.

Re: floppy tank syndrome

I take the the little rubber things inside the sprocket cush and use them... You have to make a little cut through them and make sure the cuts are even... Mines held up for 2 years

Re: floppy tank syndrome

just cut a couple of like 1" * 2" pieces out of the sidewall of a spent tire. hose will eventually fall out. the chunks of tire are the only things that i've found will stay put.

Re: floppy tank syndrome

put some rags on each side of the top of the air box under the tank, it will raise the tank so when u tighten it to the frame it is solid...
