Radiator Part number 3XP-12462-00

[Geobob]

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..

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.

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.

Here is the correct cap for your bike @Geobob.

I don't need a radiator cap?

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Geobob, the 26H-12462-00-00 has been superseded with 1B3-12462-00-00, which also replaced 1AA-12462-00-00, 3XP-12462-00-00, 26H-12462-00-00, 5JW-12462-00-00.

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.
