Xtankteam
A friend and adventure motorcyclist
asked for a solution for the restricted range of the BMW G650XChallenge
This has resulted in the
development of the Xtank. With a capacity of over 6,5 liters it gives a
minimum range of 300 / 350 kms (185 / 215 miles). A nice feeling in the middle of the desert
The Xtank is fabricated from 2mm sheetaluminium pressed shells and has proved
sturdy and strong enough by now to be able to survive the harsh rally and
adventure environment.
The 4-point attachments with vibrationdampers form a strong triangular
connection to the subframe, to avoid extreme point loads on this part.
Lots of thinking went into
the way the fuel is passed on into the main tank. The solution we found implies
that the Xtank is emptied first, so the extra weight at the rear disappears first. Another
advantage of our system is that the fuel line is connected to the breather
valve of the main tank. So no drilling holes in the main tank or whatsoever.
The tank comes as a
complete kit, with tankcap, mounting materials and full instructions
Assembly is Plug and Play:
four allen bolts and a fuel line
Additionally, besides
having our company logo pressed in at the outside, the tank is engraved with a
serial number that corresponds with the pressure test certificate that comes
with it. This to enable entering the tank in the bikes papers at f.i. the
German TüV
Nett weight ≈ 2 kg (4.4 lbs) Fully
loaded ≈ 7,5 kg
(16.5 lbs)
For those that want maximum range we do XL-versions at request, up to 40 mm wider (35 mm in combination with our luggagerack)
A strip is then welded in between the two pressed halves
It looks a little less neat than the stock one, since the strip
always tends to deform a bit at welding and there are 2 weld
seams, but this has no effect on the structure of course.
The extra volume is 0,8 litre per 10 mm wider
Please mention if your rear subframe is another than the original alloy one
Because the steel subframes use M8 bolts instead of M6 for the upper mount
In addition to that, the Touratech steel subframe's mounting points have not the same center distance as the original BMW frame. The Xtank's mounting holes are therefore specially adapted for these frames
