SiBag Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I asked a similar question the other week in general chat. I got this reply of @Bow "If your looking for a cheap alternative, take a look at the FZ/ FZR/ YZF Yam taps. plain and simple on/off, high flow rate, 8mm bore, and same mounting centres, and not as tall as Suzuki’s vacuum tap. some of us racers have been keeping it a secret for years , pmsl…" Not checked it out yet myself..

Love this idea, anyone know specifics, twin or single outlet? Could you just T off from a single? Cheers, Quote Link to comment

MooreMatthew Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Been using one on my turbo bandit Single outlet on off Works spot on And can obtain for cheap Quote Link to comment

griff1400 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Suzuki iRf 900 tap can be made fit, saw this on a post somewhere. It has an off position on it too. Quote Link to comment
jonny1bump Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Rf 900 that interesting. You could use mod tank adapter, cut the normal on position long pipe to same height as reserve pipe and use two dry connect fitting get high flow two feeds.

jonny1bump Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Or as turbo boys and I've done in past make own adaptor. Or buy one these using the remote tap and dry connects. Edited February 2, 2019 by jonny1bump Quote Link to comment
jonny1bump Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Actually re thinking that you end up having to use two taps, stupid idea cancel that. Did make own adaptor and linked with high quality washing machine style tap did leak eventually through tap pivot and was bit ugly if honest so went back to pingle. Quote Link to comment
yyt Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hope this helps.. Should fit your tank, has one outlet n ON/Off/RES. Just replace o-rings n it works great. Quote Link to comment
