Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis 25-liter fuel tank is an essential upgrade for off-road riders and adventure enthusiasts who require increased range for both competitive racing and long-distance touring. Designed to maintain the agility of your machine, this tank offers a sleek, ergonomic profile that preserves rider movement; however, users should be aware that the increased fuel volume will shift the bike's center of gravity compared to a standard stock tank.

FAQs
Will this tank fit my specific bike model?
The Acerbis 0008430.120 is designed for specific motorcycle models. Please cross-reference your bike's year, make, and model with the manufacturer compatibility chart before purchase.
Does the tank come with a new gas cap?
Yes, the Acerbis tanks typically include a dedicated fuel cap designed to fit the specific threads and sealing requirements of the tank.
Can I use my stock fuel pump with this tank?
This depends on the specific bike model. Most Acerbis oversized tanks are designed to reuse the original fuel pump and hardware, but always check the included installation manual.
How do I maintain the clear finish of the tank?
If the tank is translucent or clear, avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV rays when stored for long periods, as this can cause yellowing over many years.
Does the increased weight affect suspension settings?
Yes, adding 25 liters of fuel significantly increases the weight at the front of the bike. You may need to increase your fork compression damping to compensate.
Troubleshooting
Fuel leak at the petcock or fittings
Ensure the fuel tap O-ring is properly seated and tighten fittings to the correct torque. Replace gaskets if they appear compressed.
Tank feels loose after installation
Verify that all mounting hardware is securely fastened and that no spacers or vibration-dampening rubbers were omitted during the setup process.
Difficulty getting fuel to flow
Check that the tank vent hose is not kinked or obstructed, as a vacuum can form and prevent fuel from exiting the tank.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the 0008430.120 tank should be handled by an experienced mechanic to ensure all fuel lines and petcock connections are sealed correctly to prevent leaks. Because this is a high-capacity tank, ensure all mounting brackets are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to avoid vibrations. For care, avoid using harsh chemical solvents for cleaning; simple soap and water are sufficient. Periodically inspect the mounting bolts for tightness after the first few rides following installation, and check the fuel lines for any signs of hardening or abrasion due to the larger tank footprint.
