Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the fuel tank is completely drained and removed from the motorcycle. Clean the mounting surface on the tank thoroughly to ensure the gasket creates an airtight seal. Secure the petcock using the appropriate mounting bolts, ensuring not to overtighten, which could crack the plastic tank mounting flange. For care, inspect the petcock housing periodically for cracks and check the fuel line for signs of dry rot. If the bike will be stored for an extended period, it is recommended to drain the fuel system and turn the petcock to the 'Off' position to prevent varnish buildup.
