Default Pet *****


Can someone explain why you can't run a on/off/reserve petcock on a 07 fuel injected bike. I'd rather hit reseve than run out. My low fuel light comes on @120mi but can make 150+ hwy. Any thoughts?
Thanks Mmont

The low fuel light is your reserve..........

There is no petcock on an FI bike because the fuel pump is located inside the tank. I'm assuming for safety/pressurization reasons, they don't allow you to shut off the only way that fuel can exit the tank safely.
