Has anyone found a solution to getting a larger fuel tank for the XT250?

Not that I'm aware of. There's been a few threads here over the years and various folks have pestered Clark (XT225 oversize tank supplier) about doing one for the 250, but so far the response has been "not enough volume to justify the investment". The alternative is to carry one of the various types of fuel containers available.
This shall pass, be still and know. 2006 XT225, UNI filter, ProTaper bars, MSR handguards, SS front brake line, Shinko 241's.

Hi peejman,
I carry a 1 gallon rotapax whenever I'm travelling which along with the tank gives me 13.6 gallons of fuel. I'm just worried that for Iceland that won't be enough! I hoped that a larger tank had been found which would have given me a few litres more to be safe!
I would have thought with the numbers of the XT250 being sold in USA and Oz that there would be demand!

Hi Reggie,
Oh yeah... gallons, I wish! I mean litres! 😂 My tank takes 9.8 litres and the rotapax 3.8 litres which gives me a total of 13.6 litres! I hope this will be enough!?!
