Dont let this happen to you.

Ive had a 96 springer for 15 years.Many, many times Ive been told "shut your fuel off"..I always thought WHY?Its fine, it'll never happen to me.

Well it did!Took 15 years but it bit me right in the cant repair department.Fuel line cracked at the pet caulk (full tank of course).Ate a good chunck of powder off the motor before I caught it.

Lesson learned the hard way I guess.

That's probably the only thing I didn't like about by former bike (05 XL1200C) - non-EFI so I always had to remember fuel shut-off. Sorry to hear about your scoot getting damaged - maybe time to do some powdercoating???

AHH, I'll fix it.It makes me more worried with my 08.At least they give you a shut off with the carbd models.

What do you do when the efi 1 springs a leek?This is a major oversight by HD in my opinion.One so simple,all you have to do is walk to your basement to understand.Every major line has a shut off.

Well just think of the good thing......didn't happen when the bike was hot or even worst when you were riding

 

[Bud White]

if you use the quick disconnect it will shut the fuel off to the line

AHH,.
Every major line has a shut off.
