parts wanted
anyone know where i can get a small screen for my 650 2001 naked raptor .the importers here are useless .also this bike ive had since new has only a13litre tank the specs all say 17litres
Re: parts wanted
Hello and welcome roadrunner.
Where is 'here' ? It may help someone advise you.
Also how did you work out the 13 litre tank figure? Fill it from empty ? Seems odd to me.

Re: parts wanted
bike run dry in heavey rain storm on freeway took in12.9 litres to fill it.Road test on English mag. also disputed the tank capacity,while doing a preview in 2001.Is a bit of let down in Australia where we do long runs and servos arenot always open.Still a great bike built for the nice windys we have in Victoria .Had since new no problems at all.Still can scrape the knees on the island PI.AM 71 today

Re: parts wanted
welcome in roadrunner
maybe there's a difference in the 650 tank, I know I've put just short of 14 litres in my thou at times and it wasn't totally dry. Difficult for you when the fuel stops are far apart
I had a small headlight-mounted Givi screen on mine previously, (admit I didn't notice a difference when I took it off)

My 2001 650 takes 15 litres to fill when the warning light comes on, takes 19 litres to fill from empty.
The 650 has a smaller airbox than the thou hence more room for petrol although the outlines are the same.
Maybe you have a thou tank fitted or somone has stuffed 6 litres of contraband into your tank ?

Re: parts wanted
My 2002 has a 17l tank.. Seems a bit odd that you got such a small one in comparison...
Think like snap I've got a givi, check the post back for when I fell off and needed a new one.. 3 years ago now.. Shoulders still F&(ked from that..

Re: parts wanted
The 650 has a bigger tank as less of it is cut away underneath for the airbox hence the differance in capacity.
