Gravity tanks are used almost exclusively by most shops, but generally in conjunction with the fuel pump. I can't speak to the 1200's, but my gl1000 will run with the pump by-passed. The fuel will only gravity flow out of the tank when it's over about 2/3 full. Which is why it uses a fuel pump. If you do decide to try the gravity method, be sure you dissable your electric fuel pump.
