Do you have to remove a raptor petcock from time to time and clean the screen,and how often should you do it?

Unless you have a rusty gas tank.....you are not likely to need to clean anything.  The fuel that comes out of the pumps is filtered and clean when it goes into your tank.

I understand that the sloshing action from riding will keep the screen free of any debris that gets in the tank, but it will settle to the bottom. Many years ago, I had a TS-250 Savage, and when I removed the tank to paint it, some junk came out, but not much. Should be OK.

Noop... I never do...
...but,... I do turn the Pet to Reserve once or twice a year (when I think of it),... to pull some fuel down the reserve tap...
Mostly superstition... maybe?.... Undecided...

...(I carry a couple of t-shirt sleeves)... to use as... (wrist bands to block cold winds, rags to mop up, headband, neckerchief, faceshield cleaner,... and...
...I hang one on the throttle to remind me that I turned the Pet off to park... or I hang one over a mirror, to remind me that I put the Pet on Reserve)...
...it's my motorcycle... post-it... Huh...   ...( If I see a T-shirt sleeve hangin' on my bike... I know I did somethin' weird)...
...just got to figure out what... Huh...
