It is snowing here, so I consulted my owner`s manual for sage advice concerning the winterization process of the Ninjette. They recommend siphoning all the fuel out of the tank via a siphon. Then the drill is to run the engine until the carbs are out of fuel. Of course,prior to that ,one needs to change the oil and filter. What I was surprised to find was that there is no fuel shut off. The petcock at the base of the tank has no provision for fuel off. My bike will be stored in a heated garage. I had initially planned to shut off the fuel, run the fuel out of the carbs, fill the fuel tank, and treat the fuel with Stor-n-Start. Now I discovered that the fuel can`t be shut off. I am thinking of installing an in line fuel shut off valve. This way I can shut off the fuel, run the carbs dry, and store the bike with a full tank (treated) in a heated shop.
