Title: Anyone put on the Yamaha Raptor fuel petcock?

Just installed mine last night. So far so good with remembering to turn off the fuel. Has anyone else done this, and are there things I need to watch for?
Thanks.

i got one waiting for me in the shop... maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

Q: did you plug the vacuum line hole on the carb? if so with what?

you can get a rubber cap at the auto parts store. just cap off at the carb. i had to buy a package of several for $3 at advance auto.

Thanks for the info on reserve. Still learning how far I can get with the new petcock.
I bought a set of vacuum caps at O'Rielly's. Less than 3 bucks, various sizes. Seems to work OK. I did put a back up cap in the tool kit, just in case.
