KSR Fuel tank foam

[c10]

The Bandit has a terrible fuel slosh issue with no baffles , and the tank up so high in the chasi . Ordered the 5 gallon motorcycle tank kit that comes with 32 count 3"x 3" cubes to stuff in the tank . At 6 there was a noticeable change . At 17 cubes nothing felt , and the motorcycle no longer moved side to side with a the fuel slosh effect.
I had to go give it a quick test on the street , and quiet a change while riding . Previously at very slow maneuvering speeds it would upset the bike with a sudden direction change or quick stop . Will get some photos up soon to go with the video .

I didn’t even know of such a product. I assume the reduction in fuel capacity, if any, is marginal?

Yes my friend said about 4 ounces over 5 gallons .

Not bad at all. My DR650 can feel kind of funny at times, depending on the gas level in the aftermarket 6.6gl tank.

I should mention this is good for bikes with no Fuel gauge/sending unit . The foam will affect the gauge or make it completely stick in one position.

hmmm that's a point. I would think then it may not be best in a Busa

No she didn't. Two weeks ago I rode it 50 miles around Houston. Noticed it, and asked her if it bothered her. ( it bothered me)
So end result was this
