2017 Gas Tank on a 2013?

No, I literally meant a spot where you had to type in your year & model of bike and it showed in the left area under the avatar.

From your picture alone I have no idea what year your bike is....

I am already done with mine

Would be nice if we could require people to enter their year bike and have it displayed under the avatar on the left. Some other forums require this- either bikes or cars- and it is helpful in discussion- as is location.

I put mine in my signature. Doesn't that accomplish the same thing?

G'day Peter, i'm interested to hear how far you get on a tank. I have ridden the tank to empty three times, twice as part of a plan close to home and carrying some extra fuel. The furthest is 314.5 km this was not an endurance attempt. Fortunately for me a FarRider came to my aid and I got to rendezvous with the rally Down Under later that afternoon carrying the recently purchased fuel can.

My bike was built in 2011.

Regards

Hi there, results will be coming soon... we presently have rain every other day, so I do not ride for pleasure.
Mid test, up to 100 km/h - slow roads = after 250 km, 2 solid gas gauge bars and 3rd flickers from time to time.
This Sunday, weather looks promising, and I should be able to make 600+ km.
Accuracy will be up to 90%..'cuz do not remember exact amount of gas pumped into gas tank = pumped 2x at the same time/pump
Cheers
Peter

Hi,
TEST CONDITIONS:: 13' CB1100ABS- 5 speed, 43K, 17 L gas tank as per Takashi/Samurider, use 10W40 full synthetic oil, ambient +25-30*C, engine start temp +20*C, several, natural start ups and stops, tires:: Pilot RD 3 - F= 120/70/18, R = 160/60/18 & spec pressure, NO ECM/engine modifications = stock, roads:: 70% back roads and up to 100km/hr & 30% hwy with higher speed, operating RPM in 5th gear 3000 - 4500 accordingly, gas used:: 91 & 94 octane, refuelling:: on side stand. Have a windshield .

TEST # 1::
Filled gas tank ( no topping), rode certain distance , 2 bars on gauge dropped to 1 fuel bar + rode another 20 km (last bar still not flushing) = 320 km distance ridden and 14.2 L refueling with moderate topping.

TEST #2::
Rode 395.3 km, last fuel bar flushing for 15 km ( but before gassing, bar momentarily became solid ??), I am more than certain, I would pass magic 400 km !!!!!!!

Refueling with deliberate/several times topping and tank took 16.5 L = WOW! ... now started testing the 3rd time. During this, 16.5 L refueling, there was no gas leak from overflow/breather tube from under my bike, so I think there still was 0.5 L of old fuel = total now in tank = 17.0 L

NOTES/PRESUMPTIONS:: If a rider has throttle discipline (I don't) up to 3300rpm in the 5th gear, rides nonstop a the hwy, I believe that 400-450 km distance is realistic....and this might be test # 4

Cheers,
Peter

A 2017 gas tank showed up on eBay a couple days ago for $300. That seems like a pretty good deal. Item 122751719701. Unfortunately I just bought a black tank for my 2013.

So I've been reading this and no one has said the 2017 tank will work on the 2013 (unless I missed a post) I also see that the gas cap looks different so the one off the old tank will not work.. The Japanese tank if I remember makes the bike look like an original 750 four. Anybody have an answer as I do a lot of long distance riding and my range is 120 miles on the tank and thank God for the Corbin set..

swifty, check out [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11505]this thread of chync's. He's put a 2017 tank on a 2014 and I assume it's a standard, which suggests to me that it will fit on a 2013.

use2be might be able able to tell you the capacity of the Whitehouse tank—that's the one that looks like the original CB750 tank.

peterbaron has also put on a larger tank. There's discussion about it somewhere in [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10544]this thread. You'll also be interested in the opening posts, I suspect.

Whitehouse tank is 4.7 Gal

I aint gonna lie....
i want a 2017 gas tank real bad too...
just so I can paint it -exactly LIKE THIS~!

That gold color really shows off the curves around the knee area.

Information now in another thread.

jedd, to my eye the gold one is by far the best iteration of the CB1100 RS.
