    Fuel Valve ON/OFF switch

     Guys,

     The dealer told me I should always turn of the fuel valve after each ride. This sounds insane but I want to know what you all do. I had a leak inside of my air induction system cover and they said that me not turning off the fuel valve switch would be the problem.

    I like to know what you all do.

     

    Thanks!

    Yes.  And respectfully you need to do a little studying yourself.  If you don't have an owner's manual then download one here: http://rswarrior.com/files/folders/owners_manuals/default.aspx

     Just for a lot of laughs, you should take it to the dealer that told you that and ask them to show you how. You can smile or even laugh out loud while the search for the petcock

    The warrior does not have a petcock to turn off. This is why I park the bike upside down, now the AIS leaks into the gas tank. Stick out tongue
