I have the same skid plate on my 2040 DR650. One thing that is recommended is to remove the upper chain roller, the chain can flip over the top and snap it off and tear a hole in the frame. It will also run better if you delete the PAR valve. When you put you new fuel tank on, remove the tiny fuel filter that is inside of the fuel inlet tube to the carburetor and install an inline filter. I also installed a pair of valve covers with cooling fins on them to help keep the top of the engine a little cooler, you can get those from Shotcraft.
Thanks for the helpful info Scott. Upper chain roller will be replaced with a bolt. That video will be coming. Pair valve has been deleted, plz check a previous video, you may like it Inline filter is installed with tiny filter in carb inlet removed. 👍
