Shut off your fuel when not in use? Is it necessary?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Motorrad:
Some of the worse varneshed up carbs I have seen are from sitting with the fuel on. 

I have also had a dew of my vintage bikes fill. Yes FILL the crank case with fuel. 

Polar-Bus:
I shut my fuel cock when trailering, or at the end of the day's riding, it's just a good preventitive method against allowing raw fuel to weep into your crankcases, and or out the bowl overflow

mrhoney:
If I have a bad seat / needle - then I'd have a problem regardless of shutting off the fuel valve just after use right?

Danger4u2:
It's routine for me, kill switch-shut off fuel.  If my bike is not running the fuel is shut off.

azracer19:
On the 500 i ride it with the fuel off when im done riding ( close to the truck ) the 450 you have to shut it off it will fload and not start the next time you ride
