>> Fuel Petcock Standpipe
The fuel petcock standpipe on all of the trials bikes should be checked prior to putting the bike into service. If the bike is in service the petcock should be in the "Reserve" position when operating the bike.
We have discovered that some of the standpipes are too long and can cause the engine to starve for fuel in the normal run position.
Download the fuel petcock modification manual for complete instructions on how to perform the modification.
