Transformation kits for 1997 ec 250
Hi I'm looking at getting a Transformation kit from the www.Motorcrosscenter.com for my 1997 ec250 it's the (Nambotin 2011 kit)
I understand from reading another post on these kits I will need to move the Coil in order for the new tank to fit but I have also been told that I need to make a hole in the frame so the new tank can attach properly, Im getting the 00-11 tank as recommended by the company Has anyone done this modification to the frame? Pictures would be brilliant ! Cheers |

The 00-02 tanks have a recess for the taller shock mount like your bike has. If you mount one of the newer tanks like lower profile 04 and newer you'll need a new hole to mount it by the steering neck and also trim down the bracing for the shock mount and add more in a different location since the newer tanks don't have the recess.

When you pull the tank you'll know what I mean. GG has a small frame work or brace built on top of the upper shock mount. You'll have to remove that to get the non recessed tank to sit low enough and weld some bracing back on elsewhere to strengthen it back up. Or just get a 00-02 tank with the recess built into the bottom of the tank.

I contacted the Motorcrosscenter asking about instructions to fit the kit and
This is what said To change fuel tank when you will put the modification kit the only thing you have to do is a new hole in the frame (in the front part of the frame). When you would do the modification if you have any problem or any doubt please send me a mail and we will try to help you. Thanks. Mikel. Motocrosscenter That's great news, they must have changed the shape of the fuel tank so now I don't have to move the coil etc! |
