The round quarter sized rubber gasket with the 4 holes is leaking fuel from the petcock only when turned on. Has anyone found a replacement part that works. My search has found there is no Buell part other than a complete petcock replacement. The round gasket looks similar to other Japanese bike petcock gaskets but I fear they are just slightly different and will leak. I don’t want to go to a Pingle. |

I think the petcock was made by Acerbis (at least they have one which looks the same ) maybe try this ? |

Assuming the S2 petcock is the same as my S1, Basti is right and they're the same as the regular Acerbis petcocks you can get on ebay for about $18. The only thing to keep in mind is that they make them for both the left and right side, and as far as what I remember, the sides are the opposite of what you actually need, so look at yours and look at the pictures carefully. Aside from that, mine was doing the same thing when I got it. Remove the 2 screws by the switch(with no gas in the tank), you can remove the faceplate and clean up the gasket and put it back together. Mine worked perfectly fine after that. |

Assuming the S2 petcock is the same as my S1 More than an assumption, it's a fact. |

I used an acerbis petcock on my S2 numerous years ago and it appeared to me to be an exact replacement and still works fine |

EBay said it was damaged in transit and sent me a refund. I actually found a good used gasket in my pile-o-parts from a S1 petcock. I am back on the cold (slightly above freezing) temperature. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ACERBIS-Replacement-Fuel- Petcock-for-Acerbis-Gas-Tanks-Right-2044230998/292 317721592?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2 057872.m2749.l2648 |
