05 C50 Fuel Shut Off Valve? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Does the 05 C50 have a fuel shut off valve?
Or because it is fuel injected, it is not required, or automatic?

I can't seem to locate it if there is one.

It does not, it is vacuum operated. You can pull the tank off with gas in it and will only leak a drop or two that is in the line at the time.

My 03' carbed Vulcan did not have a shut-off, just ON, RESERVE, and PRIME... My Uncle's 04 Volusia, no valve. Most MFGers stopped using valves in 04... SO, the new bikes do not even have a shut-off, all vacuum controlled or electronic. No reserve either, my LCD fuel level at one hash will blink when I am down to 1.2 liters.
