I remember that stuff... only one of my 4 Buells is carbed.. I'm spoiled.
When I was on the first ride on my XB9R, a test ride, I decided I needed gas because the low-fuel light came on.
Spent 5+ minutes looking for the petcock... |

Most small and mid-sized Japanese bikes have a vacuum operated shut-off petcock.The accelerator pump provides the fuel for the first spark and after that, the engine is creating vacuum. |

Ok I finally had a ride on the bike, all seems to be fine, while doing up the bike I installed the spare muffler I got with the bike a V&H, bike runs a bit better with this muffler and it's not to loud, I needed to adjust a bit the clutch, but did it this afternoon.
I'd like to thank every one that replied to this post, and all the advices and suggestions. |

Just out of curiosity, how much gas was in there? |

The primary was full, oil tank 50%, and the crank case had some but don't know exactly how much.
Maybe 3 liters. |
