[QUOTE="pawtracks, post: 195543, member: 2116"] When I shipped mine to Italy the moving company required it to be empty of oil & gas. The day before it was to be packed in a crate I went for one last ride and rode it 55 miles into the reserve, came back and let it run on the center stand while I sat next to it. Plan was to shut it off the first time I heard it sputter for fuel. 45 minutes later it was still running so I took it across the street to my Costco parking lot and did several figure 8's until it started to sputter and figured that was close enough to empty for me. The movers delivered it to my doorstep in Italy 3 months later. I reconnected the battery, put in 2 gallons of fresh gas from a gas can, turned the key on & heard the fuel pump pressurize the line. ~5-8 seconds later she started right up. [/QUOTE]
