Geobob Posted April 3, 2015 #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..
Du-Rron Posted April 3, 2015 #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.
MiCarl Posted April 3, 2015 #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 #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
Prairiehammer Posted April 3, 2015 #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 Geobob, the 26H-12462-00-00 has been superseded with 1B3-12462-00-00, which also replaced 1AA-12462-00-00, 3XP-12462-00-00, 26H-12462-00-00, 5JW-12462-00-00.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
