2stroke oil coating sounds interesting, as does picking up a decent second hand tank, trouble is that even the newest of tanks are from 2003'
Ive been filling my tank up every time i come back from a run but its an old bike and it probably hasnt had that from new so the damage perhaps is already done,
Its just a bit of a shame really as most parts seem reasonably priced enough to keep replacing them but this could eventually be its achilles heel
Yamaha really dont want us keeping our old bikes with an 800 quid price tag, absolute scandal,
I think if i was buying or had just bought a new bike i'd be hunting around for a spare tank for the future whilst they were still newish,mind u if i could afford a new bike would i really care!

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
