If it is stock, then that petcock is vacuum operated and has a filter on it inside the tank. You need to remove the petcock to change the filter. You don’t give any history of the bike but I’m assuming you acquired it recently and don’t know much about it?

Default Fuel pump..

Yep just bought is for 1500 so I can afford to do what I have to to get it running good..
there is a hollow bot on left side of bracket for Carburator..It's open to atmosphere and it is in the cylinder head..
Is that a breather for engine?
