Motorbike Breakers?

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question but here goes. Nobody slate me for this either! Long shot, but does anyone know where I could get a fuel tank for a Suzuki ER 250?

Before you ask why would I want to bother, it’s a bike I’ve found that’s been abandoned for around ten years and I’ve managed to get it back up and running. It would be a shame for it to go to the great Suzuki dealer in the sky before I manage to kill it myself.

There's places in MCN ads. section where you phone them and they call round all the breakers for you.
I haven't got a copy to hand so can't give you the number, but I think they're called 'Partsearch' or something?

bonny_ricardo - believe me I have tried! You don't have the details of the one your tried do you? I check ebay out quite often but nothing has come up yet. Can't even find much on that bike by doing a search in Google. I refuse to give up on her though.

Cath, good idea. I haven't seen them so I'll buy a copy and give them a call. I still think it's a long shot though Smile

Chances are that no one will be advertising a tank for an ER250. the tank is more than likely used on many different models of bike, so check out other suzuki tanks.

Bike breakers are a good option, however alot of tanks are rusted through :/
would a fix of the old one not be possible?

I have tried fixing the old one but it's rusted far too much. I have called a few places and searched the web for the bike but can't find much info. on it. Maybe I should look for a Suzuki forum and see if someone knows of any other models that would fit the bike. It doesn't have to be perfect as long as it can be secured as I wont be using it on the road.

I've had very little luck finding out what one even looks like! :p

perhaps a pic of the old tank or of the bike will help us aid you in your search

I don't have a pic of mine at the moment but it looks very much like the one attached. I'm pretty sure that tank would fit mine. Thats a TS 250.

wrong colour and its hard to see, but a respary, some stickers and it could be perfect.

Well spoted but I don't think that one will fit my bike. It is from a newer model and it's a different shape. As you can see, from the ebay picture, the seat would come up over the tank but on my bike the seat doesn't come over the tank.

I will keep looking.

I really think you are going to need to try some grey bike importers for a part like that. Have you tried somewhere like https://www.dkmotorcycles.co.uk/home or https://www.batmotorcycles.co.uk/
