My manual says there is a fuel line plug located on the bike to use to stop up the fuel line when I disconnect it.
... page (4-50) ...
I can't seem to find this fuel tank plug... little help...

My version of the electronic manual says the plugs are affixed on the rear fender. I don't remember ever seeing any plugs anywhere on my busa rear fender though. I have no idea.

I don't think the earlier busas had the QD couplers. I think I remember this topic coming up before, a long time ago. The electronic shop manual I have has a picture of a copper '99 busa on the main page and it clearly says to pinch the hoses and to cap the connections at the tank/pump. I'm pretty sure the QD couplers came along in more recent year models.

Okay, well I guess I will just disconnect it & hope for the best.

I have very little gas in the tank, so if it does keep running it shouldn't be to Nasty...

Okay, once the line is disconnected the only gas that comes out is the gas that was in the line. Nothing else linked. Pretty simple...

the plugs you need to cap off the fuel lines are under the seat.  I can't remember where exactly but they are there.  I think near the prop rod of the tank.
