Umf 05-09-2001, 12:01 PM Does Pingel make a petcock for the GSXR that actually has a reserve position? I've got one ordered and it is on the way and now I don't think it has a reserve but Pingel's website doesn't give many details. Now what? ------------------ We are men of action, lies do not become us. Are there rocks ahead? If there are, we'll all be dead. suzukiman17 05-09-2001, 05:00 PM Umf, I believe all Pingles were made for drag racing so there is an "on" and an "off" period. ------------------ 88 slingshot modded to the gills! Umf 05-09-2001, 05:40 PM So do I just automatically fill up every 100 miles? or does anybody have any great ideas like always riding around with a water bottle full of gas? http://forum.gixxer.com/ubb/images/icons/grin.gif Seems pretty inconvenient to me. ------------------ We are men of action, lies do not become us.

MrTris 05-14-2001, 02:20 AM It's stock for my 90. Matbe you could mod it to fit yours? ------------------ Chris Andrews 90 GSXR 1100 ?@? 1216,4" over arm,air shift,and nitrous. OLD SCHOOL wolf1127 05-17-2001, 03:39 AM My petcock is always on reserve. Whenever I fill up I reset the tripmeter and work out the mpg. I find it dangerous running out of gas in traffic and having to switch to reserve. My 1100L has a low fuel warning light but even if it hadn't I'd be running the bike on reserve. I get better range out of a tank and don't have to worry about running into reserve unexpectedly while overtaking a truck with trailer. Wolf ------------------ 1990 GSX-R1100L (Red& Black) bcjohn 05-17-2001, 07:49 AM A lot of the Pingel's do have reserve, but the GSXR1100 item is considered a race petcock, so no reserve. PS: per Pingel, 6 turns of teflon tape minimum prior to torquing it down (npt fitting). This allows you to tighten it up with the outlets facing in the correct direction http://forum.gixxer.com/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif . I installed 5/16" viton o-ringed fuel breaks in line on the fuel lines as well as a 1/4" break on the gas overflow line. Makes removing the tank a LOT simpler. Just have to unplug the low fuel light plug, undo the bolts and crack the lines. Got to remember to turn the valve off first though http://forum.gixxer.com/ubb/images/icons/grin.gif ------------------ **DONOTDELETE** 05-24-2001, 06:30 PM I have a pingel on my 89 7/11 and it has a reserve on it, but I have had that valve for 6 years, things might have changed marc ------------------ R-O-B 05-26-2001, 01:58 AM My APE catalog show 1 part # for the GSXR 1100 # is 32GSXRDAH it is a duel outlet race (on and off). The 750 shows 4#s 6210AH single outlet race, 6211AH single outlet with reserve, 3210DAH duel outlet race, and 3211DAH deul outlet with reserve. Hope this helps you out. You can get a catalog at http://aperaceparts.com ------------------ If ignorance is bliss....Why aren't there more happy people Umf 05-31-2001, 08:21 PM I asked for a copy of the Ape Race Parts catalog. I also asked Pingel directly about the reserve valve on the GSXR. Their response is quoted here... SORRY OUR RESERVE VALVE DOES NOT FIT THE GSXR. So...as far as I can tell, if I still want reserve, I've gotta go OEM or if I don't care about reserve and just want to fill up every 100 miles, go for Pingel. ------------------ Life is better on a bike bcjohn 06-01-2001, 01:12 PM I'm so in the habit over the years of resetting the odo tripmeter that I used it rather than reserve anyway. With the old vacuum petcock, I ran on Prime most of the time, then set it back to On when parked. Anything to bypass that F@#king vacuum shit! ------------------ 87gsxr711 06-01-2001, 07:13 PM I have an 87 750 tank with a Pingle petcock with a reserve on it. I bought it direct form Pingle about 6 years ago and even had them rebuild it for me once. Maybe it is not specifically a GSXR part but I sware that it is. ------------------ terryd123 06-06-2001, 06:22 PM found it for ya dude!!! http://airtech-streamlining.com/h%26aprices.htm ------------------ | ||
