Geobob Posted April 3, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2015 Can anyone confirm that this radiator cap will fit my 1988 Venture Royal. It said it would fit an XVX13 and I think my bike is an XVZ13D. the price on ebay was only $27 so I thought it was worth a try.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du-Rron Posted April 3, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 3, 2015 By the book your rad cap is supposed to be a 26H-12462-00 But it might work. Looking up cap # 3xp-12462-00 It says it fits everything from some 200, some FJ's, Royal Stars, etc. Compare it to your old cap as far as size, pressure, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted April 3, 2015 Share #3 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) As Du-Rron pointed out that is not a 1st gen radiator cap. The 12462 part of the part number is what identifies it as a radiator cap, the 3XP part indicates which model it was first used on. The difference might be as little as different paint or different supplier. Or it could be a different pressure or an entirely different size than you need. By the way, neither XVZ13 or XVZ13D is a complete model number. The "XVZ" indicates some sort of family relationship (which seems to be engine architecture - although the V-Max has its own designation), the 13 tells us the displacement and the "D" indicates a Royale (at least if it's a first gen). The complete model number of my '89 Royale is XVZ13DW - where the W indicates it's an '89. An XVZ13DWC is the same motorcycle with California emissions on it.

Prairiehammer Posted April 3, 2015 Share #4 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Here is the correct cap for your bike @Geobob. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Yamaha-FZX700-TDM850-XVZ1200-XVZ1300-Venture-Radiator-Cap-26H-12462-00-/361232483089?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item541b224311&vxp=mtr Edited April 3, 2015 by Prairiehammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlover Posted April 3, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 3, 2015 I don't need a radiator cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiehammer Posted April 3, 2015 Share #6 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I'm sorry, Godlover. I mistakenly cited you. Geobob, the 26H-12462-00-00 has been superseded with 1B3-12462-00-00, which also replaced 1AA-12462-00-00, 3XP-12462-00-00, 26H-12462-00-00, 5JW-12462-00-00. http://www.2wheelpros.com/oem-parts/yamaha-cap-radiator-1b3-12462-00-00-part.html 1B3-12462-00-00 is also available here: http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/motorcycle/Y-1B3-12462-00-00.html for $23.41. Bottom line: yes, apparently the 3XP-12462-00-00 you originally inquired about will fit. Edited April 3, 2015 by Prairiehammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
