hi i have the above mentioned bike which i am storing in my flat until summer time. trouble is the whole flat now smells of petrol. someone i spoke to mentioned turning the fuel pipe off but i am unable to find the on/off petrol feed valve. i do not possess the manual so any help with an answer to finding it would be much appreciated cheers, Daz.
I HAVE A STORM AND THERE IS A FUEL TAP BUT ITS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TANK, JUST UNDO THE TWO BOLTS AT THE HEAD STOCK END AND THEN LIF THE TANK UP AT THE FRONT.YOU CAN THEN TURN THE TAP WITH A PAIR OF PLIERS ETC.
hOPE THAT HELPS

Is this bike not fuel injected so it will not have a fuel tap.
Most jap bikes in the last decade dont have fuel taps cause they have a fuel pump in the tank. I have not worked on a firestorm but being a big v twin i'm pretty shure it will have a pump in the tank.
