So I can tell you both that I appreciate the feedback, and I am the 100% WORST about turning off the fuel valves. I just never do it in all the years I've been riding. The worst part is that I KNOW I should turn them off, but I just don't. It's especially bad on the DR, since I have the 5.3 gallon fuel tank on that beast. 5 gallons of gas has a lot of potential energy in the form of static pressure pushing down on the needle and seat. And because it's a single cylinder thumper, there's only one very large carburetor on it. That's a recipe for disaster, but so far I've not had any problems at all. In any event, I just ordered a new battery and a petcock rebuild kit from Amazon. Everything should be here on Wednesday.
