Re: New fuel taps to fit triples
Yes. Z Power sold similar ones for some time. White boxed rather than branded packaging. They gave up due to too many complaints.
The seals get eaten away by the ethanol in petrol.
I`ve fitted about 6 on bikes. Two worked for as long as I had bike. Others let go obernight.
As a balance, the Aussies dont usually put up with crap, so the maker may well have modfiied the sesl by now ???

Re: New fuel taps to fit triples
One of my machines has a new repro tap fitted. It's shit. Won't turn off properly and the filter bowl can't be fully tightened or it just pushes the gasket off its seat and pisses fuel out. So piss and shit you could say.

Re: New fuel taps to fit triples
I got one for my 400 from kawa triple parts (Simon lister) and it is spot on. Two years now and no sign of a leak.
if you wish to quote me, that's fine. But please use the quote button provided, not a variation of my words.

Re: New fuel taps to fit triples
I prefer the stock fuel tap but I modify them by fitting my own 8mm barbs.
This makes it easier to use 8mm ID fuel lines and most modern carbs have 8mm fuel inlet barbs.

Impressive stuff Per K. It's often this sort of detail in the little things that makes more impact if and when one actually notices them having been done.
