NC30 Fuel reserve?

Post by iArGod »

Hey people,

When i took my tank off to get it painted i also removed the fuel tap.
Once i'd riden it a couple weeks later i found it didnt have a reserve the hard way!

I just seen a picture in a parts catalogue and my tap appears to be missing bits off?
Ive marked the image with a red rectangle to highlight the sections that arent present on my fuel tap.

As you would assume, once my petrol is gone from 'On' theres no difference in turning it to 'Res'


Thanks for your time

......yep but don't expect much of a reserve. I only got 12 miles (which wasn't enough) :whistle:

I think they come as a complete Tap only

David Silver spares should be able to get you one... theres one on Yahoo Auctions at the moment new old stock for about 80 quid

So how are they attached to the tap?
because looking at a fuel tap without one it isnt apparent anything was even present before

Thanks
