Fuel Tap for Kawasaki EN500 Vulcan 500 LTD (1996-2009) and ZR750 (1991-2006) – Part No. 51023-1267

This is a fuel tank valve for Kawasaki EN500 Vulcan500 LTD (1996-2009 models) and ZR750 (1991-2006 models) motorcycles, original part number 51023-1267. This valve (or fuel tap) is located at the bottom of the tank and controls the fuel flow. It typically has three positions: "ON" (main tank), "OFF" (off), and "RES" (reserve). It is essential for carbureted models.

This valve is specifically designed for Kawasaki twin-cylinder or four-cylinder engines from 500 to 750 cc. Made of durable, fuel-resistant engineering plastic or metal, it incorporates a precision-machined core and seals. Its three positions allow the rider to select between the main tank and reserve fuel depending on the fuel level.

The valve body has an inlet (connection to the tank), an outlet (connection to the carburetor), and possibly a pressure equalization orifice. The seals ensure a perfect seal when closed. If your Kawasaki EN500 Vulcan or ZR750 is experiencing problems such as insufficient fuel delivery to the carburetor, fuel leaks, or difficult gear changes, the fuel tap may need replacing. Over time, the internal seals of the tap can deteriorate and cause leaks or malfunction. Replacing this fuel tank tap (part number 51023-1267) will restore reliable fuel control, ensure optimal engine fuel supply, and prevent the risks associated with fuel leaks.
