999 999r Fuel Tank Size?

  1. Hi All

    Just looking for some insight here. I just purchased an 999r, I have noticed the 999R has a smaller fuel tank than my 749R

    Is this normal or do I need to start hunting for a larger tank?

    cheers

  2. That's normal. As far as I know, only the 749R had the larger tank as standard. Homologation rules, or somesuch.

  3. Yup, 17 litre from memory. I stuck with mine. I thought the bigger tank spoiled the lines a bit.

  8. Aye, your probably right. Maybe I'm thinking of my 1098R with a 17 litre capacity. I'm getting on a bit y'know...

  14. I see. Your talking about a rear guard. I don't find it necessary as I give the kids pocket money for cleaning the bike
