Default CFM or UM Oil Tank??

Ok, I hear alot about both these oil tanks. What one if your opinion is better? How well do they help? Pros cons? Anyothers I can look at? Also do they both fit with Yoshi full exhaust? Thanks!


What do you guys think of the alum air boxes too? I have no airbox right now with the pro-flow. Would I gain HP by decreasing the turblance?

CFM has been good to me.

Their lowering kits are top notch....so I wouldn't see why you couldn't get their oil tank.

Do you notice the tank helping much?? Or is all you notice adding the extra oil? I don't wanna spend that much money on something that won't help. What ya say?

Default CFM or UM Oil Tank??

I just purchased a CFM oil tank from Ebay and in the auction it stated that it holds 1.25 more quarts than the oem tank. Which when I did add oil it only took a little less than a half a quart???? Whats the deal? I have rode it and checked it several times by the manuals directions.

Isn't a stock Raptor's capacity around 2.2 quarts? How many quarts total is your's holding? My CFM tank equipped Raptor takes nearly 4 quarts to fill from an oil change.

Raptors are funny that way...sometimes the oil stays in the tank...it flows when it's running though...By the way..I have the UM Tank with the heat shield....The only drawback is that I have to remove it to adjust my valves. Other than that..I love it.
