I was at the dealer yesterday talking prices and I asked about winterization of the fuel system. One of the things he mentioned was that you never want to run a fuel injected engine out of gas cause there are priming issues. That got me to thinking later that I have no idea how this bike's fuel system works.
1. Is there any sort of a fuel shut off valve/ petcock?
2. Cars have an auto fuel shut off valve that actuates in accidents so that the high pressure pump isnt spraying fuel eveywhere. Do bikes have some sort of tipover switch?
3. Where is the pump? In or outside of the tank? Are the connections to the injectors flexable or more like a fuel rail?
4. Is there a real fuel filter instead of a gravel strainer or do you guys install your own, or is that even possible?
Just curious.
