I have recently booked an X-Blade and I am yet to get it from the showroom. The showroom guy mentioned something about Honda Hornet which tickled my mind. In Hornet there was no carburettor and the petrol gets injected directly into the engine unlike X-Blade or Unicorn. This essentially means, the tube leading to the carburettor (again, this goes through the reserve valve) can be removed and petrol can be stolen. Is it true? Any X-Blade Owners?

I think that all carbureted bikes are prone to this. Not just x blade.Comment

Yes absolutely! I got to see this in the showroom. In fact, even Hornet has Carborator in it(the sales guy probably made wrong statement). Only those vehicles that has direct fuel injections are safe in this aspect.Originally posted by newwannaberider View PostNo Gold for coming secondComment

Just check to see if there is any fairing covering the fuel stopper. If no, then it's easier to steal i believeComment

The solution to this problem is using a key lock for fuel, it fits under the tank & provides a way to lock the fuel, instead of the stock lever having Res/Off/On setting.Comment
