At first I thought it might of had a VFR tank fitted.
The pic from the other side doesnt seem to have the same cut out in the tank.
If you ask me that would be a little bit more than a split seam...

Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
Re: Something wrong...
looks like a Yeti has taken a bite out of the tank to fit his air intakes

Re: Something wrong...
I was thinking that too, but the other side looks normal...
+ in the add he says the leak is on the L/H side.

Says it's black, too.
Odd sort of hue for black....

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: Something wrong...
I'm not convinced. If you look carefully and zoom in it may very well be cut like the right hand side. I think it's a bit of an optical illusion and the angle of the camera and lighting as well as being a low res pic making it look normal.I was thinking that too, but the other side looks normal...

Re: Something wrong...
Agree with you Carl.Thats could be the reason it leaks as well. If you know what I mean.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN
Re: Something wrong...
Doesn't look like its been cut on the kerbside er side like the obvious cut out on the offside. The owner saying it leaks from the 'left' side depends how he defines left and right either from sitting on it or looking at it from the front. Non standard stickers hint at respray.

Re: Something wrong...
Weird.Why would somebody do that,unless it was to fit a snorkel and have some kind of ram air ?

Re: Something wrong...
I'm not convinced either. The best thing to do would be for someone to ask for a better photo of the nearsideVTRDark wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2017 1:13 amI'm not convinced.

Looking at the bigger picture ha ha, why would someone go to all that trouble to only do one side,

Re: Something wrong...
Maybe because after making the first sodding great hole in the petrol tank to give it a race replica Moriwaki look they found it leaked fuelwhy would someone go to all that trouble to only do one side

I nearly went to look at this bike when I was hunting for my VTR,phoned the bloke,but was put of by his attitude,very cagey,odd in fact.
took him of the 'to view list' found a better bike,and well happy now.oh and it's been for sale for at least six months....

It would be nice to know for definitely though wouldn't it

Re: Something wrong...
Yeh it's defo looking one sided now So an attempt of ram air and screwing it up. Change the tank and be done with it. Use it as a bargaining chip to reduce the price.
