I was given over the phone the list of changes and almost all of it was related to the plastic.

I keep telling dealers that this whole thing is a bump in the road and we will look back next year and it won't seem so bad.
I'm just going by what the spec sheet says for the 12's(10.5L=2.77 gal), but if it's an actual as measured 3.0 gal, that will work just fine for a typical northeastern 2-2.5 hr H/S. If I need more fuel capacity it looks like i'll know who to go to, hopefully they can work something out.

I recently rode a 2hr harescramble is southern NJ. Deep sand sections, basically lots of throttle most of the time. I had no problem finnishing without a stop, on my '07 250. I had my son ready with fuel but went through scoring in 2nd on white flag lap, looked down saw plenty left in tank, and said no way I'm stopping. I think if you can do this in deep sand your good to go in more moderate woods conditions.
I'm racing just North of you (WNYOA) and would have only finished 2 races last season with the stock tank on my 11xc 250. I lost races last season because I had to stop for gas and also made race wins closer than they needed to be as well due to stopping for gas. The racing is that close up here. I tried using a Clarke tank last year, but I hated just about everything about it. As a racer who goes to the races by myself, it's a pain to have to ask someone to help me, or worst yet, get off the bike and do it myself. The tank issue is a big deal to me and the lack of a quality aftermarket tank is as well. Do you know how many guys have looked at the bike at the races and asked if could finish the race on that tank, and what my answer is.....nope. Can you get a bigger tank.....AHHHH, YAh but...
The jetting is good. The bike and I both seem to be happy with it, NEDW,40,172. On a really good day I think I can get almost 40 miles out of a stock tank at an A level pace, but realistically 36-38 is more like it. I usually finish right around the top 20 OA. I just had the head modded by. http://http://cycleplayground.com/index.php/technical/headpics ,so I'll have to see what effect that has on fuel efficiency. My first series race is this Sunday, and I remember I went through over 4 gallons of gas last year at this same race. I actually ran out of gas 200 yards before the finish and had to put the bike on reserve, but that was with a CCK needle. We're way off topic here, sorry about that.
Number plate tank isn't legal for AMA racing.
