====Obtaining parts====

What you decide to do will likely depend on whether you can diagnose which part of the petcock is damaged. This will, of course, involve taking it apart and looking at it before you order parts. This is the cheapest way, but you'll have to wait for parts.

~~There is a rebuild kit~~ from ~~K&L Supply, part #18-2723, but it is for the E series (86-87) bikes. It doesn't have~~ the ~~correct diaphragm for the later F (88-07) bikes. All the other~~ parts ~~are the right ones~~, ~~but if your diaphragm~~ is ~~bad, plan on spending another $25 on top of the $25 for this kit, which puts~~ you ~~in the ballpark for a new one, already put together.~~

If you want to order parts from your dealer or one of the [[Where can I buy parts/tools online?|OEM online sources]], here is what you'll need:
