Ride a few muddy Ohio enduros and tell me then that it wouldn't bother you. Out west, it's not as big a deal. You guys can ride two or three rides and not have the bike dirty enough to need washed.

I don't know about you guys but that 1L seems really insignificant. I finish a 2 hr race, no pit stop, and have more than enough left. Even in the real fast/sandy events. I can see the concern trail riding for long distances or desert racing but even there is 1L more enough to complain about? Its either a reasonable size tank for racing or one of those huge bulbous things just to get you home.

That said, perhaps if the new '13 tanks prove to have zero swelling issues due to better material selection, this can be applied to the '12 tank mold in the future. The tank was molded as a quality part and fit fine when new. Just a thought.

Meanwhile in the west. Racing on the dry side of Washington even









Anyhow I welcome the added fuel if it dosn't cause handling or fitment problems. Our Harscrambles out here are 2.5 hour plus a lap............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..............................................

Sorry I painted "out west" with such a broad brush. I meant AZ and So. Cal. I know Idaho and Washington and Oregon and such are gnarly too.

My wife and I went to Sedona and Flagstaff for our honeymoon. I loved it out there. I'm not sure about the dirt biking but the mountain biking was awesome.

Zero ridng in Sedona, Flagstaff has a few trails still open. A new trail system in Flagstaff was just approved this year. We might see 75 miles of new single track up there in development soon.
