CRF300L Camel Tank on a 450L?

Has anyone tried fitting the Camel Adventure rear tank on a 450l?

I want to ride in some Rally Raid races around central europe. In those I need 150-200km range minimum. I ordered the nomad 11l Tank, as I personally find the IMs tanks too wide and bulkyWhile doing research I mostly found tanks for full blown rally machines costing 10k+ or kits for KTMs/Husky and 300L/rallys. This made me wonder if I could fit a rear tank to the subframe similarly to how its mounted on the 300L.
Id ofc have to modify the mounting brackets but otherwise it should work right?
For the fuel transfer I thought either a second fuel pump or a fuel transfer pump could do the job.

Looking forward to some good inputs or ideas

Talk me into/out of a CRF 450rl for FS roads, single track and overnight camping in the southeast

Test rode a 450 today. It had the vortex ECU and yoshi exhaust and larger than stock rear sprocket. Last bike I had was a CRF300l rally that I always felt like needed more power and better suspension. Before that I had a ktm 640 adventure. I was comfortable on that, but it was a little heavy. Several other bikes over the years. I haven't ridden in a few months and the 450 felt a little intimidating. Mostly taking off from a stop. Once I was moving I felt fine. I only rode it on pavement and just for a few minutes. I'm imagining it on trails though, where I'm more likely to want to tractor up hills than to be balls to the wall hauling ass all the time. Is this too much bike for me or something I'll get used to? Are the vortex ecu's programmable in any way that would tame 1st gear a little more? Maybe this is all due to not riding in a while and jumping on a new bike. I was ready to buy, but now I'm second guessing myself.

Anyone know where to find a service manual?

I just picked up a "21 crf450rl and can not find a frikin service manual. I was hoping to purchase a printed copy but I'd settle for a digital one.

Helm didn't have one listed and neither did Haynes.

BC Kootenay Boundry rip

415km of off road was a bit much with the stock seat! It was either a new fmf pipe or comfort. Power won out….

Is the CRF450RL really too tiring for 200-250 mile days?

I've been reading everywhere that the CRF450RL is far too exhausting for riding 300 to 400 km (200-250 miles) a day on asphalt or dirt roads. If I replace the seat with a Seat Concepts seat, is it true that this bike quickly wears the rider out and that it would be better to choose a DRZ4S or a CRF300L instead?

Long Range Tank CRF450L

Hi all!
I got the 5.7 Gal (21.5l) Tank from IMS. Mounting was a breeze and the quality feels decently high. However I do feel like it has a bunch of caveats that shouldn't be overlooked.

  1. Weight distribution

with the tank being the way it is the bulk of the fuel sits above the saddle, wich makes the bike very top-heavy. When fully tanked the bike feels noticably sluggish

  1. usable fuel volume

I was surpsied to have the fuel light light up after around 12l of use, riding downhill, doing stoppies and wheelies on a closed course ofcourse helped it and after around 16l I had the first bog. I was doing mostly calm street riding for a few days but still I feel like only being able to use around 4.5 / 5.7 gal (16l/21.5l) is a bit of a design flaw

  1. Cost

living in central europe as a petrol head is hard enough and the tarifs of the orange man defo didn't help. on top of the 400.- for the tank I had to pay almost 200.- in shipping and fees, for EU riders please keep that in mind.

I'm looking for some alternatives now, preferrably in a rally style.

I've looked at the MST rally tanks wich look great, however they only come in a kit and I dont think they would fit around the original exhaust (wich I cant swap because of EU laws yey)

does anyone of you have an alternative or will I have to lear aluminium welding to get the desired result?

Fuel Pump Replacement?

Ok I had the worst luck with buying a second hand bike. First the engine seizure and now there were some wiring issues which are still preventing me from getting it back. The wiring was messed up when PO attached a manual fan-switch and thermostat display. It was fixed but the fuel pump has been flagged as the problem preventing the bike from running correctly when tuning on the dyno. They said it's been tampered with but I would've thought, a rebuild kit for 100 usd would be the ticket but they said best to replace the whole oem unit (i dont have full details on what's going on with this fuel pump but PO denied anyone doing anything to it). Has anyone had to buy a 500usd fuel pump instead of buying the rebuild kits?
