I've seen in a magazine somewhere this connector you can put on your fuel line under your tank, so if you need to take your tank off you can un-snap the connection and it will automatically disconnect the fuel flow. saves you completely emptying your fuel tank if you need to take it off. Anyone know where i can get one? for that matter, anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? :msn-wink:

I'd normally turn off the pet-cock and disconnect the hose from there if I rode a different type of bike...
But I have a Duc and it even has a tank stand and hinge!!!!

Should've known the first reply would've been from a Duke owner. The trouble is, Dukes come with their own hood-style tank because you have to spend so much time fixing them! :niceone:

Doesn't your bike have a vacuum switch? I believe most/all modern bikes do

How would I tell? (Don't say disconnect the fuel line blah blah bla if it pisses everywhere blah blah blah.)

The Fazer is a '96, so it aint that new.

so it doesn't have a fuel tap????

Ducs have a lifting tank so you can spin people out... I've never needed to actually do anything under there (exepct connect a light to the battery for a friend... and wire up my radar detector), but it's cool to show people :niceone:

Sounds like it's cool to play with your cock too. GSXR has a hinge and stand also. I believe the SP1 does as well. Cool is not a tank stand, it is standing on the tank doing a wheelie.
Get it right! :mad:

on a serious note I bought a couple of quick connectors for my zxr400
they do just as you described.
Only trouble is the friggin o rings are not the correct rubber for Kiwi petrol.
nett result after 3 uses the bloody o rings swelled up just when i diddnt need em to -theyre a great idea none the less

My gixxer is 89/91 model and is vacuum. Have had older bikes with as well. By 'modern' I mean less than 20yo. The tap on the gixxer has 3 hoses - 2 that feed 2 carbs each & a 3rd (smaller guage) that is the vacuum connector.
