Yamaha YZF 1000 Thunder Ace [1996-2003] - Tankring Basic including counterpart tank sack

Product description: Tanking Basic for Yamaha YZF 1000 Thunder Ace

The Hepco & Becker tanking basic is specially designed for the motorcycle model Yamaha YZF 1000 Thunder Ace, built in 1996 to 2003. This accessory is used to secure a compatible tank bag directly on the machine's fuel tank.

The scope of delivery of the product includes the tanking and an adaptable counter holder, which is attached to the tank bag depending on the specific tank shape and the impact angle of the handlebar. An important advantage of this system is that the tank cover remains fully accessible even when fueling is mounted.

Properties and assembly

• The tanking ensures a stable hold, even at high driving speeds.
• The assembly takes place through a mechanical lock that is easy to use.
• The tank bag is placed on the tanking and locked itself audibly.
• A mechanism is used for unlocking, which is operated by a belt on the front part of the tank bag, which can easily be removed from the backpack.
• The use of tank sack systems does not require a general operating license (ABE) in Germany or an entry in the vehicle documents.
• The recommended maximum speed with assembled tank bag is 130 km/h.
• The maximum payload for the tank bag should not exceed about 3 kg.

Additional Information

The basic tanking works exclusively with mechanical locking, in contrast to Lock-IT fenkring, which also uses magnets for centering. However, both systems use the same model -specific metal ring. It is important to make sure that tank bags and tanking come from the same system, otherwise they are not compatible.

The product is stored in the manufacturer's "my bike" database for the specific motorcycle model, which makes it easier to check compatibility.
