why does everyone say that you should turn the fuel petcock to the off position when you park the bike? or even when u know ur not going to ride it for a week or so?
Lol..... amen to that bro.also, the weight of the fuel can overpower the float and cause it to fill up the engine, spill out the catb, and make a huge mess.
and honestly, there's no good reason why you should leave the fuel on whenever the bike's off. it took you longer to type this question than it takes to twist a little handle.
Don't feel bad, Shake. If the truth be known I'd wager that the majority of us have forgotten to turn the fuel on AT LEAST ONCEI put an inline fuel filter on my last bike and it never leaked. I never used the petcock. The only time I ever used it I forgot to turn it back on and started going home. I was almost half way back home before the engine finally ran out of gas.
And I'd wager there's a few of us who, even if we knew how often it happened to us, would be too embarrassed to say.Don't feel bad, Shake. If the truth be known I'd wager that the majority of us have forgotten to turn the fuel on AT LEAST ONCE
