    My petcock on my 84' VF500 took a crap. I have been searching high and low but I can't seem to find one. The only one I can find is direct through Honda and they want $240 plus tax.

    Can someone please point me in the right direction of finding one? I only paid $1,200 for my bike and find it a little disturbing that my petcock will cost 28% of my bike!

    the whole petcock or does it just need a rebuild kit?

    i found a rebuild kit from the small engine mechanic in my hometown. he said that the books dont list the VF500F to match the kit he gave me, but it was a perfect fit. used everything but one small O-ring.

    I need the whole thing... I already rebuilt it and the thing leaks from every seam.

    Will the petcock from an 86 VF500F work on my 84 VF500F?

    Thank you very much, although the original pet cock is shot. It leaks out of every seam possible. I think I might have damaged it when I was blowing about 200 PSI through.

    I ordered up a working petcock from an 86' VF500F, I'm hoping it will work.
