Title: Hello everyone! I am new for the motorcycle
Post by Sephroth on 11/19/24 at 15:09:34

Hello everyone my name is Sephroth
I just pick up a 1995 this late summer I bring it to the local shop to maintained and ready to winter storage in my storage so my friend told me try to burn out all the gas in the cab, so i turn to pecock to OFF then just let it run idle but almost 45 mins it still run so I am not sure is the gas still going there even is in OFF position or just need to let it run longer? usually how long it will go off the engine?
Thanks
Sephroth

Take a closer look at the petcock, a stock petcock does not have an "off" just on/reserve/prime.

That's because it's a vacuum activated petcock and will shut off when the motor is off.

This is in the owners manual. You can download a copy from the tech section link below.

Idling, sitting on the sidestand ,starves the cam for oil on the high end of the cam.
That is what we here on the forum have come to believe.
