Safari Tank for WR250R - Review & Install Photos

By Ixta , June 21, 2009 in WR250R/WR250X

Recommended Posts

*** Update: The advertised capacity of the Safari tank has been reduced from 4 Gallons to 3.5 ***

*** Another update - Measured range about 175 miles to empty. Details page 8 of this thread ***

The following is review and photo installation of the new Safari tank for the WR250R.

Preliminary Observations:

The good: The tank construction is good and mounting is very solid. Much better mounting than the Safari tank on my DRZ400. Since the WR is a fuel injected bike, the fuel pump must be removed from the stock tank and reinstalled in the Safari tank. The fuel pump mounting plate and seal area are substantially rigid.

The bad: Safari tank capacity is only 3.35 gallons, which is a mere 1.25 gallon improvement over the stock capacity of 2.1 gallons. This is a significant departure from the 4 Gallons advertised. All my other Safari tanks have been spot-on with advertised capacity. This difference is more than rounding error……

The so-so: The fuel pick-up points reach deep into both (right and left) lobes, but they are not direct-pickup. Instead a pressure system redistributes fuel to the mid-tank mounted fuel pump, which is sitting in a mid-level “pool” of fuel. The stock fuel pump remains unmodified and uses its fuel pickup located at the base of the fuel pump sitting in this mid-level “pool” of fuel. *** Update - works perfectly - see ride report page 8 this thread ***

Since my experience with the range of the WR250R is only 85 to 90 miles before reserve, I had been following the development of after-market tanks with enthusiasm. I placed an order in December, 2008. However, with additional engineering delays, the tank was not received until mid-June 2009.

1Safari1.jpg

The tank arrived well-packaged and in excellent condition. Included in the box: Tank, Instructions, a pre-cut shroud cover, Fuel cap, vacuum tube & tee fitting, a couple of zip-ties, and a metal baffle cover for the fuel pump. The blue is not a perfect match to Yamaha blue, but it’s certainly close enough given the fact that this bike stays dirty.

2Safari2.jpg

Shot of the bottom of the tank. This is the mounting plate for the fuel pump. Fuel pump mounting hardware is reused from the stock tank. Note how the fuel pump is located at mid-level of the tank – well above the lower ends of the fuel lobes. This photo also shows the indent of the “pool” of fuel surrounding the base of the fuel pump.

3LobeFeeders.jpg

The Safari has two pick-ups which reach deep into the left and right fuel lobes. These are connected back to a vacuum manifold mounted inside the tank and a single “dump” hose is directed down towards the fuel pump.

5OldTank.jpg

The stock WR250R rank. 2.1 Gallon capacity. Pardon the dirt. If you want clean, go browse a Harley forum.

6DiscoOldTank.jpg

Disconnecting the tank is easy. Yamaha thoughtfully provided quick disconnects for the fuel line and the electrical is a standard clip-lock plug.

7HardwareXfer.jpg

Tank mounting hardware is reused from the stock tank. Top/front and rear brackets are fitted to the Safari tank. The tank is very securely mounted in this configuration. The WR250R tank is substantially more secure than my previous experience with a Safari tank on a DRZ400.

8FuelPumpTieWrap.jpg

The stock fuel pump is removed from the stock tank and reinstalled into the Safari tank. Per Safari’s instructions, the dump tube from the Safari fuel pick-up system is cable-tied to the frame of the fuel pump. The end of the dump tube distributes fuel to the base of the fuel pump which is sitting in a “pool” of fuel located at mid-level in the tank).

VacuumT2.jpg

Safari’s fuel redistribution system requires a new vacuum attachment to the Safari gas tank. This line is tapped off of an existing line. This is a shot of the completed tap. Safari provides a “T” and length of vacuum line.

9InstalledTank.jpg

Picture of the mounted tank. Note vacuum line attachment.

10NewShroud.jpg

Safari includes a new Yamaha factory shroud cover for the left side that has been pre-trimmed to fit the lines of the new tank. Nice touch. In this photo, the pre-trimmed shroud is shown on top of the original shroud.

11ShroudLeft.jpg

Photo of the left side shroud cover after the Safari tank has been mounted.

12ShroudRight.jpg

Photo of the right side shroud. The Force radiator guard was previously installed.

13Aftershot.jpg

New Safari tank mounting complete. The seat shown is a Corbin and required a bit of modification for the top tank mount to mate properly with the seat. This was just an inconvenience and not a major issue.

14Filled.jpg

Tank capacity filled from bone dry to the level shown in the photo was 3.35 gallons.

Additional observations:

In order to test the fuel pick-up system at low levels, I measured and filled the left and right lobes with one pint of fuel each. After sealing the gas cap, I turned the ignition to on and the fuel pump whined just a few seconds longer than it normally does, then shut off just as it did with the stock tank. I started the bike and it fired right up. I shut it down and removed the gas cap. Sure enough, the fuel pump was sitting in a pool of fuel about 1” deep. I then rode around the block to make sure the fuel distribution system was functioning at low fuel levels. No issues.

I am a bit concerned about the fuel distribution system. I am not a mechanic, but I can’t help but wonder how healthy it is for the fuel pump to be sitting above fuel level. During rough riding conditions at low fuel level, it seems as if this would result in the fuel pump sucking quite a bit of air.

Filling the tank from bone dry to full is an opportunity to accurately measure total fuel capacity. I used a graduated cylinder to carefully measure the remaining tank capacity after the two pints to test the distribution system. Final measured total capacity was a major disappointment at 3.35 gallons. This is <84% of advertised capacity.

Based on a worst-case measured MPG of 60(a), the Safari tank will increase my miles to reserve from 96 to 171 and total range from 126 to 201. While this is a nice improvement, it is much less than expected based on the advertised capacity of 4 gallons.

(a) my average observed MPG on the WR250R is 64.

Summary: Good construction. Great mounting. Jury is still out on the fuel distribution system. Capacity advertisements of 4 gallons are inaccurate.

See you out there.

Thanks a lot for the post Ixta. I'll be refusing delivery on my tank and possibly sending an email referring to my foot, the tank and someone's butthole. This really caps off the months of frustrati

June 27, 2009

The Clarke plastic locking gas caps fit the Safari tank with no issues. I have one on my tank. Purchased it from JustGasTanks along with the tank. Regards, -Ix.

Wow! Thanks for the great photos and info. Even at 3.35 gallons it's going to make your WR way more versatile.

Thank you for sharing. XLNT write up and pictures.

Very nice post thanks for that. I gave you some gas:cheers:

Great Post! Thanks for taking the time to share with us still waiting on our tank. Fantastic pictures, really appreciate it.

Yes, thank you for the EXCELLENT and flat out professional info and photos! ?

Regarding the potential issue with low fuel in the "pool" / rough riding with low amounts in the tank: I don't think I understand. Is it that the stock tank does not use a "pool" around the pump or that the pump's position in the stock tank is lower?

And so is your concern mostly that:

1-there might be interruption of fuel delivery,

2-that the pump might be damaged or wear out prematurely if it draws in air very often or,

3- if the pump is lubricated by fuel, that it might overheat?

Any one or more of those three seems like a valid concern to me!

About the capacity:

I have the Rotopax mount which is the only real more elegant solution. In general a 150 mile range would cover most my rides so the 3.5 gallons works but I am disappointed also. I don't regret going ahead and trying the Rotopax mount while I was debating on the Safari tank

Thanks for posting. Very helpful.

Any one or more of those three seems like a valid concern to me! About the capacity: I just ordered the tank a couple of days ago. Can't decide whether to cancel and go with some other solution because I am irritated that the tank was first advertised (by Aqualine, I think) as a 4 gal tank, then 3.67 (was it?) now 3.5, and you say even a little less than that. Meanwhile, the price has gone up 40 or 50 smackers.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've found a lot of useful information in this forum and just wanted to reciprocate.

I am not a professional mechanic. I'm just an old guy who has spent a bit of time troubleshooting bike problems out in the boonies.

In the stock tank, the fuel pump is located at the lowest point in the tank. So, the only way for it to suck air is to run the tank dry.

I am mostly concerned with point #2 - that the fuel pump might be damaged by sucking air since it is not at the bottom of the tank. It seems that sitting mid-level in the tank an about 1" of pooled fuel, the fuel pump would occasionally suck air during low fuel conditions as the fuel sloshed around. Anyone with Yamaha fuel pump experience, your feedback would be appreciated!

Next weekend, time permitting, I'll try to run the tank down and listen for pump whining.

I've been carrying spare fuel in 1.5 liter aluminum fuel bottles. Each bottle gives me about 23 miles. However, there are some runs in through the desert in Northern Mexico which are 350+ miles between fuel stops and I just didn't fancy carrying a cluster of bottles. I can carry four of these bottles in DirtBagz along with spares and tools necessary for a long run through an isolated area.

Unfortunately, Safari has been telling me all along that they were struggling to get a 14 liter design out. (I was pushing for 20... ? ) Knowing the layout of the bike, I think their solution is a good one, hopefully it won't cause any problems.

I'll probably still invest in the tank as I'm particularly tired or having to fill up in the middle of my weekly 120 mi commute... just knowing that I might be able to pull off a two hour scramble without refueling would be very cool. ? Let's face it, for a plug and play option (the rotopax is cool too) going from 7.9l to 12.6 is a nice bump... And as I recall no one else is even considering making one.

Ixta, how are the ergonomics? Obviously the tank is taller, but any problems on width? I'm looking into the Corbin seat as well, so I was wondering if that was part of the issue.

Just for the sake of curiousity, could you post another photo of the completed bike at the same angle as your first photo for a 'before and after?'

I ordered one and while the pump placement seems a valid concern, I am somewhat confident that it will be okay.

Remember that part of the hold up was tha Yamaha Australia had to approve the design for sale there. And from what I remember, over there customers have to buy the tank from a yami dealer.

One reason the price went up some could be that they added the pre-cut OEM shroud in the kit. Also maybe when they added the fuel redistribution system that added some cost?

I wonder how much capacity is lost to the redistribution block, lines and filters? Even if it is minimal, they displace something.

It also dawned on me that someone at aqualine may have forgotten about the fuel pump being inside of the "4 gallon" tank when they started advertising capacity.

In other words, if you gutted the tank I wonder if it holds 4 gallons but then with the pump and tubes it is down to 3.5 or even 3.35?

Same end result but it just makes me wonder.

Guy sitting at CAD machine, "yeah, the tank is a four gallon capacity....oh, you meant with the pump in and ready to go? Lemme do some calculations and get back to you."

Anyone going to use a tank bag with the new tank? Looks like most will interfere with the cap vent on the stock cap. I do understand in talking to Justgastanks that the "large' Acerbis locking cap does self vent without the vent being in the center of the cap. Might work, but looks like my Wolfman bag will no longer be level due to the much steeper up sweep of the top of the tank?? Any ideas on that?

Yeah, I wondering about that exact same thing. Also, looks like the tank bag's rear strap might be more of a challenge to attach with the Safari. I'm sure it can be done somehow, though.

Or maybe tank panniers instead and just a map pocket attached to the handlebars?

my #1 consern is how the tank will hold up under a drop or crash. Instead of the shrouds taking the hit the gastank is now. Just wondering if it could crack, twist, get punctured, ripped of the mounts etc.

Proly all of the above..........until crash bars are put on when and if available. I think though as light as this little bike is it wouldn't be as much of a problem as it would be on a 650 for example.

After reading your post I'm guessing I'll need to reinstall

the vacuum pump that drove the airbox flapper valve...

My airbox is modified and the flapper is disabled so the pump can

deal with the fuel pickups exclusively.

Now as far as a proper crash I don't know, but I've heard that the safari tanks can take quite a bit of abuse where falls are concerned. Better than the aluminum or steel tanks because they have a little give to them. Punctures, well that's another thought.

4.7 gal Fuel Tank #17332

  • Regular price $517.20

Fits the Following Models: 2008-2016 Yamaha WR250X 2008-2020 Yamaha WR250R

Wing Tank - Does Not Use OEM/Stock Shrouds

IMS Products is proud to announce its Adventure Tank for the Yamaha WR250R/X. We call this an Adventure tank because it maximizes your capacity, preparing you for those extended trips without the need to stop and fill up. This tank has a 2.75 gallon advantage over the stock fuel tank and it handles it well.

We made this Adventure tank to replace the stock radiator shrouds and keep the fuel down low for a lower center of gravity, improving the handling and stability of the bike. We also have installed a lift pump to allow the stock fuel pump to stay in the standard position while efficiently utilizing the entire capacity of the tank. It is available in Natural, Black, Blue, (shown top image) and White (shown bottom image).

4 Gallon Gas Tank for the WR250R

Discussion in ' Thumpers ' started by 2on2off , Dec 10, 2008 .

2on2off

2on2off Head'n somewhere new

Just got an e-mail from justgastanks.com that they will have the Safari 4 Gallon fuel tank for the fuel injected Yamaha WR250R by 12/30/08. This fuel tank is now listed on their web site. As far as I know, this is one of the first large fuel tanks, and I'm not talking about those fuel tanks that replace your rear side plate or mount on top of the rear fender, available for any of the new fuel injected Dual Sport bikes. Reports from WR250R owners indicate an expected economy of 50-70 MPG depending on riding conditions. This new Safari fuel tank would then give riders, especially those of us who like to ride in Death Valley, a 200-280 mile fuel range which should be more than enough to take you anywhere you want to go in Death Valley. Friends of mine who ride dual sported XR650R's with the Acerbis 6.6 gallon fuel tank and typically get 36 MPG, only have a 238 mile fuel range with that tanker. With the Safari 4 gallon gas tank, the Yamaha WR250R might become the "King" of the desert, at least in terms of fuel range in those remote areas I like to ride so much. This little bike is developing quite a following. One of the main reasons I haven't considered the fuel injected dual sports from BMW, XChallenge and new 450 or Husky's TE610, is because of very limited fuel range and no aftermarket fuel tanks. IMS told me yesterday that they have not received enough e-mails from interested parties to build a gas tank for the WR250R and I haven't been able to contact Clark. If justgastanks.com actually gets a decent supply of WR250R 4 gallon fuel tanks, a WR250R will be in my future. Now, if Yamaha would only build a WR450R with a 5 Gallon fuel tank, I could die a happy man.

I researched the Clarke tank for my xt350 and it also has a 4 gal tank availible, and my xt250 also gets 50-70 mpg, but is a carbureted engine
justgastanks.com e-mailed me again today and said Safari is also working on larger gas tanks for the fuel injected BMW dual sports and the Husky 450/510 fuel injected dual sports but they do not have any details or time frame at this time. What is impressive to me about the WR250R is that it seems to be a very reliable, road worthy, low maint. and trouble free dual sport with very good performance for its small size. So far, the WR250R seems like a bike that might develop a "cult like" following. IMS and Clark apparently don't think there is enough of a market to develop larger gas tanks for the new breed of fuel injected dual sports now available to all of us. justgastanks.com has already, today, received orders for the new WR250R/X gas tanks. If you are interested, you might want to order one before they are sold out of their first shipment.

Aqualine.. Or 'Safari tanks Australia' is the manufacturer of these tanks. They actually do make a tank for the BMW650 but sell through Touratech. In Australia we can buy most Safari tanks from the manufacturer or a dealer, except for Yamaha tanks as Yamaha was clever enough to tie up Safari to supply Yammy dealers only. Should be a good thing though!
BigDogAdventures.com said: I'm like you 2on2off----I've lost interest in a lot of bikes with fuel injection because of the big gas tank issue. And like you said--since the WR250R get's such great fuel mileage the 4 gallon tank will be plenty enough. I've already ordered my 4 gallon tank---but looks like it might be 3 weeks before I get it. This bike is going to be so much fun now that it truly has the long legs to get you lost------and back. IMS and Clark better get of their arse--or be left out. If IMS or Clark does make one---I bet it will be cheaper than the 4 gallon aqualine tank from JustGasTanks at $389. I think a white one would look best on the bike---but I ordered the natural so I can see my gas. Being able to see your gas is not so important when you always fill up. But sometimes when you know you can travel lighter by not filling up---you can see your gas level and know where you stand. I knew I would like this bike and wanted one---the minute I found out about the bigger tank (yesterday) I picked one up. Meantime--back to my sickle shop to diddle Click to expand...

montesa_vr Legend in his own mind

Cross posted from the WR250R main thread. derangedhermit said: The fuel pump assembly is mounted at the bottom rear of the tank, back where the tank levels out. Take off the plastic on both sides, the seat, then the bolt at the top front of the tank, and the two bolts securing the rear of the tank to the rear subframe. Don't lose the little metal sleeves. The tank will lift up. Then you can disconnect the electrical connector to the fuel pump where it connects to the pump, and the fuel line - but disconnect the fuel line down at the top of the engine, where it connects to the metal fuel rail at the injector. Now you can lift tank, pump and all off the motorcycle. From underneath, the view from the bottom of the tank, the pump assembly looks like this: To remove the pump assembly from the tank, take off the big retaining ring. Then the whole thing just comes out. A pic of the pump assembly from the side - the larger vertical silver can is the pump itself, the smaller horizontal black and white plastic on top holds the regulator, and the tiny silver can is the low fuel sensor. The big flat bag on the left is the fuel filter. We doped this stuff out over on TT. There's nothing else in the tank. I don't know how they can drop "wings" down the sides with that pump where it is, and nothing else. The pump has no way to suck fuel up from lower than the pump base itself. But soon we will know for sure what they have come up with. /dh Click to expand...

SteveO scratched and bruised, but not out

I've got the IMS 3.1 gallon tank, and I just picked up a Wolfman rotopax mount with a 1 gallon Rotopax tank to mount to the Wolfman rear racks. This should give me lots of range. I've had a 2001 WR250F and I'm tickled pink with my 2010 WR250R. Indeed, the bike is fairly simple, and yet it can get you where you really need to go. There does seem to be quite an aftermarket following for these little bikes..... I'm happy....
