The OEM ones in ebay are going for about $28 with $3 shipping. I think I'll just get it from the dealer and save the wait.

You should have both of them on the bike.....that is why Suzuki put two of them on the bike.

So I just read the petcock conversion thread and it sounds like it's worth a try for me. In the past i have heard and seen a little explosion of gas out of my airfilter when I shut the bike off. I will check for gas in the vaccum line today. What's funny is I called the local salvaged motorcycle parts shop down the street asking for the raptor petcock for this switch and the guy went ape$#!+ on me. He said im a follower not a leader and he should close his doors tonpeople like me for following the advice of forums. Haha. He said I sould just replace the rubber parts of my stock petcock. Anyway, I eill try the raptor. I saw a ton on ebay for dirt cheap <$10. I think I should get OEM though cuz that just sounds too cheap.

So, as long as you follow His idea of smart, you're okay...
I'd try really hard to Not be in that guys place again.
Go to a Yamaha shop, I spent under 30 bucks, no wait, no freight, and, I had the old petcock in my hand,so I was certain of the fit.

I think it is some kind of california emissions add on to the savage carb. Can I plug it. I have no idea what it does.

I'm sure one of the guys will be able to tell you, but until then. Start your bike.... put your finger over the exposed end... if it sucks on it, its a vacuum.. cap it.... If it is pushing air out or no pressure either way, stick a hose on it and vent it with the other lines....

Was it always that way? or did you remove a line when you did the raptor?

Good idea! By the way, I just installed the raptor petcock and was going to use the fram g3 filter, but I thinknit is way too big. I guess they dont make them that small anymore. Any suggestions for other good filters that are out now. I might go with 5/16 inlets if I can't find one in 3/8 that is small. That is after all the size of the carb inlet and petcock outlet. Hope everything is resolved when I testdrive today.

The openings the fuel screens are most likely smaller than the Pilot Jet, and if you are getting deposits int the float bowl from parking the bike for a month and letting the fuel in the float bowl deteriorate.....the filter is not going to stop that.

This forum is way too big. I cant stuff it anywhere without my leg hitting it when I ride. At least I have the raptor petcock now and can shut off my fuel and let the engine eat up the gas in the float bowl.

Hi Verslagen,
Quick question. I assume you have a california savage also. Sinced you plugged this cap, did it have an effect on your gas tank? I dont even know where the vent tube would be since ryca chops their tanks up. Did you have to take out the rubber gasket from your stock gas cap. I do notice the cap "meows" from time to time as another forum member stated.

Yep, cali model.
The hose that attached to the carb went to the carbon canister below the swingarm, I removed mine. There was also a hose that went from the carbon can to the tank, it had a connection near the carb. The vent tube connects under the tank in the tunnel, near the front. I left the vent tube on, routed it forward near the tree so I can see the end while riding, not necessary, but nice to know it ain't leakin'. My tank doesn't meow any more.
