Nope. Fuel injected bikes don't have a petcock, or a reserve tank.

Good post noting the difference between the stock petcock and the Pingle. What do you see as the advantage in switching to the Pingle?

One more time consuming step in the starting process,eh? (Along with my manual comp releases).

The Pingle looks so much better and ease of use is very much improved over stock.
