The Military has two different tanks. one is the big, 6.5 gallon IMS and the other a smaller 3-4 gallon tank that has the extra coolant tank.

The USMC tank is 8 gallons. There are some gas-powered KLR650s floating around the military, so maybe those are the ones using the IMS 6.5-gal tank.

I suspect the real deal goes more like: The military ordered the big tank for its diesel bikes, and IMS, who already made a 5.5 gal. replica KLR tank, saw a civilian market for a design with more capacity. Meanwhile, the Marines found that the 6.6 gallon tank gave the diesel bikes a range of something like 900 miles, more than was really necessary. They found that a smaller tank gave ample range for their purposes. The smaller tanks are the ones that sport the attached coolant reservoirs. This is not for certain; let's just say it could have gone that way.> here's a wacko theory ... > > maybe the military ordered a bunch of tanks but when they arrived > they found they should redesign the tank to have the coolant > attachment like we see in the pictures. > > as a result there was a glut of 'military tanks' which were > now useless to the military and were thus sold on to consumers. > > now the public will have to wait for some other redesign > so we can get the now real military tanks. > > wacko huh ? > > barnaby.
You remove the entire muffler, and remove the clamp that fastens the midpipe to the muffler. There is a rivet under the clamp that pins the muffler to the core. Once you do that, you either hammer the core out of the muffler body (50% chance you destroy it), or remove the discs, and punch a small hole in the perforated core to fit the dent puller into (10% chance you destroy it). If you coated the entire core with anti-seize when it was new, it's much easier. If you have any dents in the body between the discs and the end cap, it's MUCH harder. I have a Laser Pro Duro for sale, I won't know how much I'm asking until I see how well it cleans up. Let everyone know how it went getting the thing apart.
