If you have the tank blasted or otherwise chemical cleaned, a product like Naval Jelly will help by converting the red loose rust to a black looking oxide coating that resists further rusting. At least that's what they claim, it worked pretty good on a step bumper on my truck.

Give it a shot! You could fill the tank 1/3 full and rotate it through several different positions every couple hours. Worth a try, if you do it let us know as this topic comes up fairly often.

If you use water to flush out the tank, it's not a bad idea to refill the tank and use a little gas line dryer or Heet. Rattle the bike around with a nearly full tank and a heavy dose of the stuff and then drain it out. Use it in your car where it will be diluted more than in your bike. Besides your car can usually tolerate more alcohol than your bike.
