Fuel tap for Yamaha XJR 1200 / XJR 1300

Aftermarket fuel tap for Yamaha XJR 1200 & XJR 1300 carburettor models (1995-2006)

On Yamaha XJR 1200 and XJR 1300 carburettor models, the fuel tap is one of the components that can show wear after many years and high mileages. Leaks at the fuel tap are not uncommon and should not be taken lightly.

If the fuel tap leaks, fuel can enter the carburettors in an uncontrolled manner. If the float needle valves can no longer hold back all the fuel, petrol may flow into the engine. This can cause the oil level to rise, significantly impairing the lubricating properties of the engine oil.

In many cases, a repair kit can help. However, if the body is worn or the leak cannot be permanently eliminated, replacing the entire fuel tap is often the more sensible solution.

This aftermarket fuel tap fits all Yamaha XJR 1200 and Yamaha XJR 1300 carburettor models from 1995 to 2006 and offers an economical alternative to the original part.

My tip as an XJR expert

If the fuel tap is already being removed, I recommend replacing the sealing washers on the mounting screws at the same time. The cost is small and can prevent leaks later on.

After fitting, also check that the carburettor float needle valves close properly. Particularly on older vehicles, leaks can have several causes.
