i pull the gas line and plug it with a bolt the same size, then tighten the hose clamp.

cbr 600
would it work if i just turned the fuel ajuster doohicky to off istead of on or resevior. would that provent gas from leaking.
Turn the fuel petcock OFF (if there is a secondary one under the tank, turn it off too), start the bike, and run it until it stalls on it's own from fuel starvation. Then, just unhook, unbolt, and you're done.
yea cool im all over it
which 600? f4i? f4? f3? F4i has no petcock, unbolt, plug with finger and flip it over upside down and set it on the ground. No leaky.

I find it extremely hard to believe that there is NO way to close off the fuel supply.
No pet cock on my tank. I had to completely take if off a few times. Maybe it's a fuel injection thing???????
How about two lines going to the tank, one supplies fuel (obviously) but is there another one for vacuum? I.e. without the engine running (or cranking) there is no vacuum being generated, so the valve closes off.
Not sure whatcha talkin' about ralph. But um, that's the job of the fuel pump, to supply fuel. I have like 3 hoses, one for fumes, one for overflow and one for main supply.
theres like three hoses coming off of my tank too but there is a main line with a the pet cock on it that allows me to turn to off.

F4i has no fuel shutoff, it's kind of a bummer, a messy bummer.

Thanks Alex, finally another guy who knows what I'm babbling about!
Oh, I don't really understand, I just pretend so you won't feel so bad.

Well, you understand my confusion at least... That's highly unusual. Hence my trying to figure out what the hell koolaid was talking about, though now I see he really isn't smoking crack, Honda's engineer was!
Can't smoke crack, just at work at the moment
thats some good crack
Thats why I don't share!
