The Acerbis tank is a step in the right direction to reduce the top heavy feeling of the T7. It holds more fuel in the lower half of the tank than the original, and is 1.5kgs lighter. So with 16 litres of fuel, it feels lighter and less top heavy than the original tank. Even filled up it feels heavier, but not really top heavier, if you know what I mean.
It is worth noting that the T7's top heavy feeling is due to a number of factors, not just the high tank. The engine is mounted higher than normal (its a solid lump at 53 kgs), and the headlight and rally tower assembly is ridiculously heavy. The headlight alone is over 3 kgs. Someone should develop a lightweight "non-rally" tower for general use, which will make a huge difference. I know this because I have tested my bike with a simple headlight and shroud and it transforms the bike.

Got mine installed yesterday. Love it. I don't feel the weight shift anymore. Already used to it.

I want acerbic to make a tank for the Tenere that’s the same size as stock but in plastic to save weight and keep the scratches off metal tanks

[kymcopyriot]

Bugger tank and more range is a no brainer (especially in Australia.) you’re not always going to have it brimming full, so the extra weight is only a concern some of the time…and I suspect for many, often this will be as you head down sealed roads towards where the real riding will begin. More fuel is just another facet of ‘be prepared’. Unless the tank is shaped like a giant square box with spikes on it, I’ll take a bigger one every time!

[majormassenspektrometer]

What about the fuel gauge? Any change in the indication of the fuel level? Is half a tank still half a tank? I guess everything else needs to go out of the stock tank too like fuel pump? How long did it take you for the installation?

Im 5 foot 7inches tall and 140 pounds. I love the T7. Do not think it is top heavy at all. Not sure why people say its top heavy when it isnt. It is top heavy compared to a KTM that carries its fuel on the sides. to me the Toureg feels the same. Both feel like 450 pound bikes. Do not stay away from the T7 because of people saying its top heavy. They are meant to be ridden and ridden fast. If you cant ride then thats probably why it feels top heavy. It is a tall bike.

Thanks for being the one big rider to do reviews. Similar size looking for an ADV, more on-road than off (off would mostly be gravel, no single track). T7 are nowhere to be found in the US, so thinking KTM 890, KTM 690 or Aprilia 660. Any thoughts on these from a big guys perspective? Would love to keep lightweight but I know that would be miserable on the highway, but don't plan on much of that either, mostly backroads to enjoy the views and less idiots, I mean traffic.

Is the acerbis tank lighter than the OEM tank?

[OmegaYachtBroker]

You should buy and install a camel tank. Mounted on the rear, 5l, vacuum system so every thing go's automatically

[Motovibes]

So, with all the modifications you have made to your Tenere, would you still choose it over the Tuareg? Or is the Tenere now the superior motorcycle?

[Gorilladome]

Hey, thanx for the video...question please...I have a friend who is about your size etc...he finds his T7 is too sluggish on the road when he is hwy speeds...loaded with luggage, plus his body weight etc....question is how do you find it on the hwy speeds etc loaded down with the extra large fuel tank? thanx!

[sven_p]

Now I have to go back and watch your T7 videos again, with different eyes. Mine did come with that tank, but there are other thing I will have to fix on it.

[Krippztr]

Are you happy with the Rapid Bike Evo? Did you change anything or did you just "set it and forget it" ?

[samhill]

I have one as well. Some places I go require more fuel and not a 4 liter gallon jug tied on back Take the bad with the good.

[psvennevig]

Yeah. It makes it more top heavy if filled to the rim. For normal riding i would never fill more than the normal tank in it. And then it is less top heavy.

[ianmoone]

Im still a crashbar ith 8lt sidebags type of dude but I gotta give it to you, this one looks dope

[PatchedBandit]

I'm a bit confused
1. You said it's 1.5kg lighter even with the full tank
2. You said the bike is more top heavy than stock.. How if it's lighter?
3. You recommended spring upgrades in the front if installing this tank. Why if its lighter? And if it is heavier momentarily after refueling it will be lighter than stock most of the time going to empty tank?

I'm most interested in how much lighter the hardware is compared to the stock hardware. So without any fuel 🙂 I Appreciate the answers if you can give some.

[geofferyrobertson]

the IMS long range fuel tank for a KLR 650 is 37.5lt where as a safari tank is 32lt

[SPIN_]

Also NOTE: This tank precludes any use of a steering damper, unless you want to risk a heat gun on a fuel tank.

Totally unrelated, but I love the bucket screen :-)
