    Rather than rebuild the stock petcock, does anyone know of a good but lower cost replacement? I did an Ebay search and found page after page of Yamaha petcocks. None for my bike, a 1982 XJ550J. Here are some of the Ebay auction #s I saved. I just want one that will fit with no modifications. It doesn't have to be vacuum operated as I am used to turning it off on a different bike. Any suggestions? Oh, and mine does leak when on "on" with no vacuum. Thanks!

    I've been looking for my 93 xj600 as well, finding alot of the gasket kits, none of the actual hardware to speak of. Have found it on babbits and yamahapartshouse but would hope to find it a lil cheaper on ebay ya know?
