xinchao Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 hi there, I'm looking for a fuel cap for my XVS 650 (1997 model) I'm finding it very hard to find one. i was driving along yesterday and it flew off as i was driving, the spring broke of the release mechanism, hopped along the road and into the ditch by the time i pulled up and ran back i couldn't find it, gone forever... That's what you get for not fixing the damn thing in the first place. I looked up wemoto.com and mandp.co.uk and they don't have them in stock. It's a rare enough item i would imagine. So hence why i am here now. Any advice of where to look? I know in the states that V-star is the equivalent of the drag star, but my model is 1997 and it only came out there in 1998. The petrol is evaporating as i speak.... Thanks, Kevo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherat Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 You can get them via your local Yamaha dealer for only.......wait for it, wait for it.......£99.02 You might have to search the breakers for a secondhand tank, be a bit cheaper, but maybe not by much.

Thanks mate, Yeah I'm beginning to resign myself to the fact i might as well bend over and take the pain as it were and shell out that kind of cash. I love dragstars but man parts are really difficult to get, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
