The manual says to turn the fuel off when shutting the engine off. I have been doing this.

Old habit learned many years ago, I turn it off when not riding, storage or transporting.

I turn it off, AFTER THE ENGINE HAS COOLED. Modern fuels have additives that will leave a scum if they dry up. Let the engine cool, so the fuel doesn't evaporate from the carb and leave scum behind, then turn the valve off.

My problem isn't remembering to turn it off, it's remembering to turn it back on. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
