OTOHANS AUTOMOTIVE Gas Fuel Tank Switch Petcock Valve for Honda CRF50F CRF70F CRF80F CRF100F XR50R XR70R XR80R XR100R Replace 16960-GEL-701

A RES mark appears on all the ON, OFF, and ON/OFF switches. I only took about five minutes to figure out what is making everyone's head spin with these petcocks valves. A major difference is that the new valve' mounting flange, where it attaches to the tank, is about 1 mm thinner than the OE valve' mounting Two of the bolts that came with the new petcock were too long for the tank I had in place. With the new thinner fuel valve flange, the OE rolled washers have shown to be too large to attach to the OE sleeved washers, or the OE rolled washers won't compress the o-rings. The fiberglass tank is held together only by its ring (it holds the fuel). 4. Use the new slightly shorter sleeved washer with the existing OE bolts and you'll be fine, or subtract one mm from the sleeve height of your existing OE sleeved washers. It has been suggested that washers can be used to tighten bolts that are too long, but this isn't the problem. The issue is that the Petcock has to be mechanically clamped to the tank firmly to prevent leakage. A sleeved washer was inserted between the tanks (the tanks were shaped like a top) The hats (shims) keep a length of bolt or washer from compressing the rubber on the bolt or washer X rings. The following tip will help Put an antiviral on If you apply anti-seize compound to your bolt threads, your fiberglass bedded nuts won't peel out of your tank in a decade.

This is the new exhaust system I put on my Honda CRF150f from 2004. The gasket I had is not compatible with the gasket I had and I had to create a new gasket from my assorted "spare gasket" kit. In addition, if the switch is turned to the "off" position, the fuel pump will not cut off and the engine will continue to run forever. In spite of that, it delivers and does not leak fuel. Although it appears to be running fine, the problem with the gasket and fuel not being shut off.

You're still going to need to purchase a new gasket separately if you need one as I did. Apart from that, it works well.

The o-rings do not fit an XR100 as stated, you need to use the o-rings Fuel leaks from the connection point between the tank and the ring because it is too thin.

I replaced this gas tank with this one and it fit perfectly on the original Honda petrol It was a little easier to install the new gas tank when the gas tank was removed. It gave me the opportunity to clean out the gas tank when I changed this part. No problems with the motorcycle when using this new petcock and the price is very affordable. Time will tell how well it will hold up, but so far it seems to be going well.

The Honda CRF80F is the best vehicle to use. As far as we can tell, the old fuel shut-off wouldn't work. The plastic screen on the old one was in pretty bad shape when I pulled it out. The fit and function of this item was excellent. In the OEM part, the OFF, ON, and RES functions are labeled just like the OEM part.

I have not had any issues after riding for more than 10 times. I love how it works and how it looks. Since the old one was rotted and covered in bits of funk, I installed this one on a 2005 CRF70. I love how well it works, as well as how it has a reserve. It is important to keep the bike running until all of the gas in the carburetor has been used up to prevent issues with the carburetor. It prevents gas from getting into the carb when switched to the off position and is very effective. I have a friend with a CRF50 whose gas valve doesn't fully turn off the fuel fully. We are very happy with our purchase and will buy in the future.

This part seemed to be the exact one that Honda sells three times as much for. I found it to be very helpful.
