Title: Who woulda thunk it... Post by Greg on 07/02/12 at 15:50:44 I replaced my petcock with the Raptor. It idles smoother and higher. And it runs much better. Best $25 I have spent yet! |

Title: Re: Who woulda thunk it... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/04/12 at 09:11:39 Look at Serowbots bike pics showing the water bottles. That blue one is stainless & the cap has an Oring. I know, Ive got one, First, put gas in it & leave it in the sun, away from everything, sitting on some paper, so, if it leaks, youll know. No Leakeee? Mount that puppy up,, |

If you really want to,... you can slide a piece of fuel line over the on position pick-up tube, to extend the height and increase your reserve... ... or ,.. raising the rear of your tank, with a pair of 1" rubber spacers will also increase reserve... ;)... http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt82/serowbot/rerun/tanklift003.jpg |

Title: Re: Who woulda thunk it... Post by gerald.hughes on 07/04/12 at 11:45:35 No free lunch. Increase the reserve, reduce the main tank. I don't see the advantage. |

The petcock can't change the tank capacity, it just changes at which point the tank hits reserve. You get the same mileage regardless. |

Of course. What I was referring to is when you need to hit the reserve, you only have about 20 miles radius or less, instead of 30. I missed a few stop once, and filled with 2.6 gallons for a 2.8 tank. These rural parts tend to provide long hikes to the next filling station, unlike the big cities. :( It's why I purchased one of these: Reda Portable Motorcycle Gas Can - 1 Gallon :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WHBVDI/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 |

I think the simpler solution would be to extend the reserve tube height by soldering a brass tube extension to match the OEM. |

Title: Re: Who woulda thunk it... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/04/12 at 23:36:09 It's the main tube you want to extend.. Thats been true forever,, & I say that, without reserve |
