A couple of questions from looking at the photo.

How do you run Steg Pegz with the rear tank?

Have you still got the original ADR tail piece fitted that holds the number plate & indicators?

How does the fuel line run from the rear tank to the Carby?

Why does the front brake hose run around the outside of the fork leg?

the steg pegz bolt on as normal

yes the OEM rear number plate hanger is there.. in the photo.

fuel line from rear tank goes to a T junction meeting the front tank and flowing to the cabie insitu. By turning on both taps F&R the fuel will self level both tanks to run a lower centre of gravity. Or I can just run the rear dry first but I like a balanced feel which is working well so far..

Front Brake line will compete with full knobby tyres.. especially Motoz Tractionator’s if run inside fork leg…

If you have any suggestions to improve my setup feel free to let me know what you reckon. I appreciate the support from experienced racers who know their way around setting up a bike better than others less able.

Hey there Crow,
I am not trying to be a smart arse but the front brake line usually runs inside the fork leg. Actually on a 2002 – 2003WR (which I owned) actually ran through a channel under the fork leg back up to the caliper.

Cheers,
Lefty

I looked running inside the fork leg but the tyres were so close to the line it worried me so I run outside. Maybe i’ll pull it down and re asses the situation for a second take.

The rear Safari Tank is an awesome design, unfortunately the finishing & fit is below average. the Tank will not just bolt up & the way mine fits there is no way a rear tank can be run with Steg Pegz, more importantly get air filter access.

From what I can see in the photo the tank was just sitting there with no fuel lines installed. where is the second tap located, also shows a large gap between air box door & tank this should be a neat fit.

The brake line has more chance of being taken out on the outside than the inside, I guess thats why Yamaha designed it the way they did, the brake line & wheel are at a set distance, they will never come together, although the bush, rocks, trees are unknowns & will rip it out.

You’ve got it installed wrong then because it does fit and not just on my bike.. in mind also being able to tear it all off on the trail and reinstall it again. 5 minutes all off and 5 minutes all back on. The air filter access is a big secret though but takes only 30 seconds… I’ll give you a hint mate. The left lower sub frame bolt if running StegPegz

Mate you got me I just took a photo of it all on the bike before the rear tank was plumbed in but if you had one of these tanks then you would already know about the gap being from the removed left side plate cover and you could expect the tap being at the bottom of the tank???!!!

have you ripped off your speedo cable yet? yamaha design too..

I’m getting impression you don’t have much good to say there mate but if you want some help making your shit fit then ask nicely… but don’t tell me how mine won’t work because it already does and I don’t need to rely on help with tools on the trail let alone in the shed. I do it myself, but my avatar won’t tell you that one.

Well this thread has made interesting reading. Hey Cr0wI like the look of your bike. Are you running a TM Designs plastic/ nylon (or whatever they are made of) chain guard thingamy bit. What are they like I like the look of them. I need a new chain slide for my YZ and was thinking of getting a complete set.
Just went and read the list on the first page so sorry now i know it is a TM but the Question still stands. :blush:

Hi Aaron,
I am running a TM designs chain guide and I am very happy with it. I have had it for just over a year now and it has very little signs of wear. It has taken a few hits and has handled them fine. If you are looking at doing your rollers and slider at the same time the TM kit would be the way to go.

The TM designworks stuff is great and very hard wearing. Just spinning your back wheelup on a stand you can see how smooth it runs. Looks good too.

You can buy direct from them online and save about $110 delivered to your door over the selling price here for a full kit.. and they send it pronto.

They also make a rear disc guard too that is light and really tough also.

Crow is right, they look the goods and do the job
