Couldn’t have put it better myself Bitsobrits. Those of us with a history of British twin motorcycles know only too well about this topic. My current bike has a manual valve fitted on the tank discharge to prevent wet sumping, but I wouldn’t recommend it without a foolproof reminder or interlock, a tag on the handlebars does it for me.
