StelvioGT said:The most difficult step was to get the new rubber filler insert through the top tank cover piece as the cover has a tank vent and an overfill drain that must be hooked to the cover. The rubber is very stiff and the vent and overfill lines are short. Be ready to be frustrated during this task.
The wiring instructions are in Italian but I followed the pictures. The pictures don't show you that the wiring harness attaches to the existing fuel injection circuit so I'll have to thank http://www.vespastl.com for having a great shop and mechanic! The instructions and wiring harness could be better but otherwise I love the tank.
After the low fuel light comes on you still must wait for all three bars on the fuel gauge to go out then you hit the switch and the aux tank pumps all of the gas in the aux tank to your main tank. Once you hit the switch it cannot be cancelled. When all of the gas is transfered the switch light turns red to remind you your aux tank is empty.
I do suggest even if you don't run side bags buy a rack for the bags and run with them. If you go down on the tank side I don't think it would make it unharmed. This tank makes buying a 2011 new 'large tank' Stelvio unnecessary!!
Cool beans, Dane! If you feel like riding up to southwestern Ontario to visit, it looks like you could just about make it a "one tank" trip!
