Fuel shut off requirement
« on: March 29, 2015, 10:23:16 AM »
The way I'm reading this it seems to be indicating that I need a shut off in the fuel line?
"FUEL SHUTOFF AND ENGINE KILL SWITCH* Motorcycles shall be equipped with a positive ignition off switch to terminate engine power. The riders shall be able to use the switch without their hands leaving the handlebars.
Gasoline class motorcycles shall have a fuel shut-off located within easy reach of the rider. Fuel class motorcycles shall have a positive fuel shut-off activated without the riders hand leaving the handlebars. In gas and fuel classes, a lanyard must connect the ignition shut-off switch to the rider. Aero/quip or equipment fire sleeve shall be securely fastened using metallic clamping devices over all gas/fuel lines and connectors. No plastic gas/fuel petcocks, connectors or filters are permitted".

This is actually not so hard......

If you have a fuel-injected bike,
that you probably have a fuel pump.

If you have a fuel pump, than when
you shut off the pump, fuel stops flowing.

If you shut off the engine, and the fuel pump
also shuts off, that's usually all you need.

It is nice when we can find a solution that:

1) Costs no time or money.

2)  Adds nothing to the system to maintain or can break.

3)  Was hiding in plain sight.....

Where will you race this bike ?

Not sure. It's mostly unmodified except the swingarm and hairdryer. I'll be running pump gas.
