No, the sliders prevented the tank from becoming toast, literally.

Serious question,does the tank stick out extra far on the R6 or something? My bike has low sided twice and high sided once and the tank was never touched.

Tigger.. I think that is exactly the problem.

yeah but that tank can't be used again... the inside coating that keeps it from rusting i guarantee is cracked and will flake...

but yeah the pucks help save your bike but I'm just saying it's a design flaw from Yami... basically a bad down and your bike is a moltov cocktail... or buy these pucks and you'll still have to get a new tank...

I would have to say.. bad yammi design. It shouldn't do that.

I agree it's a crap design. Although my vote would be tank pucks and new tank rather than campfire and marshmallows in turn 8!

Yes, the tank has little 'wings' sort of... on the top, which are GREAT for getting your leg under and hanging off... but suck for crashing

Yeah the whole tank design is flawed, as well as the little plastic shrouds that tend to have tabs snap. Oh well... the rest of the bike rules.
