hello i have a kz440 and i am wanting to know if it would be ok to bypass the vacuum lines and use a different petcock than factory. Also if it is, would i just seal up the vacuum hoses or what

Yes you can use a new petcock without the line. Plug off the vacuum line and install the new, make sure your new valve has a reserve function.

You can get rubber caps to seal them and looks much nicer What other petcock can you use that dosn't use vacuum beside a pingle?
