I can't see the fuel level unless I point a flashlight through the opposite side. I'll try again in the sunlight (my test was in the garage) but I don't think the idea is that it be that hard to see.

2 stroke pipes are bad over logs but at least the GG isn't any where near as low as the KTM pipe.

i have a hard time seeing the fuel through the right side of the tank, but the left side is really easy to see. and i use yamalube, so its nice and dark.

The right side was where I was looking. I'll look again when I get home.

I see the fuel line fine on the 11, but it may be a bit less noticeable than my 08.
The new tank mold may be a bit thicker than the previous 2 piece design in order to tap for true shroud bolts instead of the sheet metal screws they used to use. Hard to tell even side by side as my 08 tank has yellowed slightly over 3 seasons. My mix may be darker than what you run. I run Spectro products.

Other than capacity, I'd like to see a liter more, the new mold is far better than the earlier generation tanks.

How about a real oil fill hole.
Took me 10 min to pour the oil in on a cold moning.

Well I'll be darned. My bike really is perfect.

I CAN see the fuel level after all. I looked on the left side and sure enough it can be seen. I didn't realize Rich had put so much gas in there. It was much higher than I expected and was basically behind the frame.

Bob......I'm sitting here chuckling over this whole thing!
I kept thinking....."How can he not see the fuel in that tank?"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does things like that!
