All of my experience in working on 2T and 4T's they had a manual petcock until I got my scooter. When mine decides to go south I will be replacing it with a manual. While the vacuum operated petcock I feel was put into place so make it easy for the new rider if you a seasoned rider it just becomes second nature to turn your fuel off.

Enjoy your new shutoff valve. ;D Just keep an eye on that clear hose unless it's specified for use with fuel.

What is even "neater" is if you have a Zuma..... the petcock off of a Raptor fits and you get a reserve.

all i did on my zuma was gut it but i have an ele fuel pump to stop the flow of fuel to the injector
there are actauly several diffrent patcocks you can get from yamaha that are a direct bolt on that are manual
the reserve is great if you go nakid handle bar and dont have a fuel gauge any more

A pebble, use a screw so that if you need the vacuum line again you can use it and put a little bit of clear silicone one it to seal or copper seal.
