Product Information

Full details

The Acerbis 12-liter neutral fuel tank is designed for Honda 450 CRF R riders (2005-2008) who need extended range and clear fuel visibility during long-distance or off-road excursions. It offers a significant improvement in fuel autonomy compared to stock tanks, though its increased capacity may slightly alter the bike's center of gravity during aggressive cornering.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this tank fit a 2009 Honda 450 CRF R?

No, this specific model (MPN 0008375.120) is designed exclusively for the 2005-2008 generation.

Can I use my stock fuel cap with this tank?

It is recommended to use the hardware provided or the cap specified by Acerbis for this specific model to ensure a perfect vacuum seal.

Does the neutral color get dirty easily?

The material is non-porous, but like all transparent plastics, it may show stains if not cleaned regularly after muddy rides.

Does this tank change the seat height?

No, it is engineered to maintain the original ergonomics of the 2005-2008 chassis.

Is it safe to store fuel in this tank long-term?

While it is durable, it is best practice to drain fuel if the bike will be stored for more than a few weeks to prevent fuel degradation.

Troubleshooting

Tank is difficult to seat during installation

Ensure all mounting brackets are aligned perfectly and check for any pinched fuel lines or wire harnesses caught beneath the tank base.

Minor fuel leak at the petcock interface

Verify that the rubber seal is seated correctly and the petcock fasteners are tightened to the recommended torque specification.
