Fuel tank compatibility...

...does anyone know if the tank of a 2004 monster 600 will fit a 2007 620?

Got a few scuffs on mine and would like a standard red so i can tart the original up with a fancy paint do ;-)

Cheers

Yep.. should be a direct swap

...as long as both are metal or both are plastic. If you're buying a bare tank and need to swap fuel pump etc. you need to be aware that everything isn't fully interchangable between the two types.

Oh ok, so i cant just take the pump, seals and hinges out of my current 620 tank?

Only if it's made of the same material as the replacement. The filter and pump on a metal tank are fitted through the removable filler neck under the fuel cap. On a plastic tank they are accessed through plate underneath. I'm guessing your 2007 620 has a plastic tank, a 2004 bike may do, it may be steel. 2004's around the time the factory switched over.
