shim calc....

[Brad Davis]

Is it normal to have rust in the gas tank? My A9 has rust on the inside surfaces but it doesn't appear to be scaling (it isn't falling off into the tank). I suppose the KLR has a fuel filter for such things, I just haven't located it yet. What is the proper method to clean the rust from the tank? Thanks, Brad A9

Hi, I have a 2001 KLR650 that I bought in August of last year. As I live in Michigan and recently had some big-time surgery, I had the bike in the garage until just a few days ago. When I stopped to put in some gas, I noticed that there was rust on the inside part of the mouth of the tank and also on the filler tube. I wiped some of it off, but it is still there. I have not had a bike since the 70's and can't remember seeing any rust in the tanks of my previous bikes. Has anyone here had rust show up in the tank of such a new motorcycle? Since it is still under warranty, I was wondering if the tank is defective and should be replaced. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Len Vernik
