no Reserve Fuel

[Sexagenarian]

The two part numbers you need to pick up are:

 

3AJ-24534-01 SEAL COCK and 3AC-24523-00 VALVE PACKING

 

There's also a base gasket 4X8-24512-00, but it may not be needed. Check the original first. They should run around $10 bucks total.

 

This is a good idea, but be careful as piecing it out can become spendy. Know that for less than $10 bucks more than the parts listed above, I bought new washer plates and the new petcock assembly. No plastic parts, now all metal.

Hi,

Just found out the hard way about no reserve on my 1996 Royal Star. Just bought it the other day and when the engine started to sputter, I just switched it to reserve.....guess what? So I noticed on the odometer it said 156 miles. So from now on when I see 125 miles, this old sailor will find the nearest gas station. Thanks for all the comments, they really opened my eyes to what is going on.

I got 170 out of mine (35.4mpg), you're super safe getting fuel at 125.

 

Hope you stick around and become a contributing member, this place

is a wealth of knowledge, and if you've just gotten your bike, it'll be

the best $12 you spend on it!

That's for 1999+

 

Wish someone would have posted a free one for 1996-2001...

I had to buy mine. Oh well, it was only $8 at Tradebit.com
