Reminds me of discussions of trucks, cars, women, guns, politics, religions, and brands of beer. Lots of verbiage from the competing(discussing) parties, and the rest of us just do it or not, based on the information supplied, without engaging in the discussion. You are correct, methinks.
This discussion is one those just like those categories you mentioned. Guys who like revolvers will never like semi-autos. Liberals and conservatives will never see eye to eye. Loud pipe guys think loud pipes are great, quiet pipe guys think quiet pipes are great. Raptor petcock guys vs stock petcock guys,,.... so on and so forth.
Some folks feel the stock Suzuki parts work just fine when in good repair, and have the advantages of convenience (not messing with the petcock after every ride) and safety (the fuel shuts off when the engine shuts off).
Some folks feel the Raptor petcock is more reliable, more positive, easier to work with because it is smaller, and is more safe because it is less likely to fail in traffic. It's cheaper too.
Take your pick.
One other thing to keep in mind,.. we are not talking megabucks or major modifications here. If you change from one petcock to the other, and after a while you don't like it, change it BACK! Change it every month, FCS. It's not like you are converting to a RYCA CS-1 or something,...
