    Ride it more often, you won't need to prime them.

      THE g doesn't have the "dreaded petcock" Its the same as all the 1979 and 1981. I have installed a 1100G type petcock on one of my 1000Gs. The fuel and vacuum line routing gets weird.

      I have had to replace a number of the 850/1000G petcocks. Never had trouble finding one, but I haven't bought one in a couple years.
