Guest ben smith Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 well that makes sense to me now cos i have noticed that in the paperwork the tank has been changed once already but when i corner hard it chokes like their is a lack of fuel so i am guessing someone has made this mistake already thanks lads ... i have now sourced a new tank off ebay for an mfi according to the description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
