Oldfeller,
I have made a note to get a Raptor petcock but have not followed thru yet as I'm still O.K. with the OEM.
There are two models - a long body & a short body. I had noted that I need the long body (Raptor 660). If I'm not mistaken, the one you referenced is the short body (Raptor 400). Does it really make a difference?

You got it backwards, we need a longer body model. There are several, but only the short ones don't provide enough finger room to clear the flange on the gas tank.

The one I posted is a long body model. The petcock is an after market part and this one is being sold for a Raptor 440, but if you could find a listing for the 660 it would be the same petcock that is being sold for both.

Of course they will sell the same petcock for a 240, and an 80 too, they don't care .....

========================================

Here is a short body petcock so you can see the difference.

========================================

.... now, which one is this one? yup, a petcock pop test ....

Heck, back then the Yamaha stock petcock sold for $17, now it is getting on to doubling that price.

Chinese make the stock parts too, they build the Savage engine at LiFan Industries in China as they do the Honda Rebel engine. Motorcycle engine parts are globalized pretty much now days.

Aaaaack!!!!!
What is this world coming to when even a Japenese bike is not made in Japan.....that is just downright un-American?

I was also shocked when I read that some of the KTM engines are made in India.
