Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Project "I was only gonna clean the air filter!"
USMC 500:
OK....Now I've done it.....I've been having issues with my kx500 petcock since I had the bike.....
first it was a bitch to turn on and off.....
I dissasembled it, cleaned it, and trimmed a coil off the spring.....still stiff.
So then I dissasembled it again but this time polished the nylon cone......no longer stiff but now it leaks. :x :x
I have had this thing on and off a few times and I can't get it to stop leaking.......all the o-rings are good.
So out of frustration I decided to upgrade petcocks. I heard that you can make a petcock off a yamaha 1300 road bike work but you have to trim the tank........ :|...I don't wanna.
So I bit the bullet and out of impulse I bought one of these..........
I must be smoking some really strong stuff to pay $95 for a d**n Pingle petcock....but whats done is done and I'll have another goodie on my bike to brag about. :-D

I'd say if it makes you happy, then it's only money, but I don't want to provoke the wrath of those who are currently unemployed :wink:
When you get it, would you mind providing some measurements?

You got it.....as you wish.....at your service....anything for Blaster............
But you have to ask me nicely.....say "pretty please with a cherry on top with chocolate sprinkles and coconut shavings". :-D
And I think that there already is a little green eyed monster that has been provoked. :lol:

I thought the wr 426 petcock fit the tank too, that was my IMS tank though, it also has a reserve.
