Petrol tank

Like LatioR mentioned, I've seen bikes with plastic fuel tank before.
Think it's a very high density plastic with benefits like lighter, higher impact resistance, corrosion proof as compared to metal ones.

Hi,
Oh, pai say, stop riding 11 years ago, so maybe outdated liao. :D
vortex:
So can any latio guru confirm if the fuel tank is made of metal, plastic or metal coated with plastic material ?

May I know which year you owned your TZR ? That is 1 of my dream bike when young but couldn't afford at that time, only bought Yamaha LC kia .... I did change 1 fuel tank before for my LC coz it really rust inside as you can see when we fill up petrol, for mine, coz I bought 2nd hand, so the rust is caused by the petrol pistol which inflict scratches while filling up. Sad.

hi bro Jazz, me bought at yr 97 at $7500 (2nd owner, yr of mfg sb yr 94). Me too like so much the exterior look of this bike (look like 400cc) but frankly speaking, this bike is not comfortable to ride (with rubber seat and strong vibration).

Yo Bro LatioR,
Yep, I agree, so is your fuel tank made of coated aluminum or plastic ?
TZR is definitely more comfortable than my previous LC kia and Suzuki RG.

IMHO, tink watever material they use to make the petrol tank, it shd b able to prevent oxidization or deterioration, and under warranty. Dont tink by leaving ur tank on low volume will cause oxidization inside/or outside, even if u din drive for sometime. It ll be a big worldwide recall if this problem happen. Based on current technology available, this is not a problem to them anymore. So dont worry about this issue. Cheers !
