Quick question here, I went to start the bike up today after unloading it and I'm not getting fuel. It ran fine yesterday when I picked it up. I pulled the plugs, they're clean and dry as can be. Petcock is on, I pulled the main fuel line off the petcock and I get no flow in the on or reserve position. I'm used to the regular little petcock valves like on my Shadow or my old CB, this one seems a bit more high-tech, does it need power to flow or what? I'm a bit confused. I expected fuel to drop out as soon as I turned the valve on... Full tank of gas btw.

the have a vacuum or pulse hose at the back of the petcock which goes to the inlet manifold, check there is no holes or perishing,! when motor is cranked the pulsing causes fuel to flow! If you pull hose from manifold and suck and blow lightly fuel should flow from tap!
