This is the Raptor part no. 5LP-24500-01-00
Any year,... just tell him 2003 Yamaha Raptor 660 YFM660R, so he has something to look up...

ok thank you. when I asked the guy about it I had to explain what a petcock was and what it did
so I kinda knew I was in trouble and had to show him were it was on the four wheeler to pull the part up and he started asking what year I needed and it was just a big mess

Next time you need something and it is the same for years,as in THEIR PETCOCK, tell them to look up the part number for Their 4 wheeler petcock for different years. WHEN the computer Shows him the same part number for multiple years MAYBE he will grasp that a company USES parts they already have the manufacturing process and equipment for..at every opportunity. Ehhh, who am I kidding..
I'd be happier if you would tell me the guy was young.

There are a number of folks who have run the stock petcock for extended periods.
There are also several folks every year who post on this forum that have a crankcase full of gasoline, weird running problems, a bike that seems to run out of fuel when the tank is still half full, or are left stranded along the side of the road when the bike stops running. If (when) the stock vacuum petcock does fail, you have a choice....you can pay $ 95.85 to buy another Suzuki vacuum petcock - or you can spend $ 30 for a Yamaha Raptor manual petcock.
I am not sure if the type of fuel and ethanol content is the problem, or if the bike sits for extended periods, changes in the air cleaner, or the fact that some of these bikes could be more than 20 years old - but it is a certain fact that the stock petcock does fail for some folks.

I still had the stock one on my '86 'til I did a tank change.Around 50,000 miles.The '98 I have I had to put a Raptor on it.14,000 miles.I always used it on the '86 too.I would let the gas get low enough to have to switch to R.And I kept it oiled up with WD or whatever.

My 2007 petty had started to fail when I got the bike (2013) with 3009 miles on the bike
methinks it's time, not mileage

That's a shame....you are going to get a Chinese copy of the real Yamaha part. You should have ordered the correct Yamaha part if you are looking to gain reliabilty.

May SAY Yamaha, but the tubes will probably be skinny,low flow. All money saving ideas and parts that will work have,I believe,been worked out by the people here. Several have bought the cheap petcock, no joy, at least the loss is not a big deal. Hey,maybe you'll get a good one! That'd be great..

An eBay listing for the real deal Yamaha part:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-YAMAHA-RAPTOR-660-FUEL-PETCOCK-01-05-/2005903...
An eBay listing for the Chinese copy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Petcock-Fuel-Gas-Switch-Valve-Pump-For-Yamaha-Raptor-...
If you don't see the part number 5LP-24500-01-00 and the white box with Yamaha printed on it.....keep looking until you do. It will cost about $ 30 to get the genuine part.
