df2 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Well, an update. Got a manual petcock, had no choice, after waiting a week for Piaggio to send the dealer the petcock, they sent a manual one. I knew $45 bucks was not enough for the oem electrical one. Anyway, I told them I was happy with the manual one so to install it. From what I gather I should leave it open (unless pulling the tank, which I always felt funny about not closing a petcock when doing that, it only took one gas shower to learn that on my old kawi). That once in a while I should close and open it just to help keep it from getting frozen. BTW, Oh my god I have a new motorcycle after the valves, tps and TBs being done. Plus they found my rear bearing were shot. But the bike is transformed back to a refined beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Just for your own benefit, shut the fuel off in winter time. This will keep the valve from freezing up.............. for when you DO need to shut off the fuel ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
