I'm building a spare backup SXR 800 motor. I have everything but the carbs and manifold. For a backup I'd like something nice, but reasonable in price. Stock 40-I's would work, but I would consider other setups.
I had technical difficulties once (well more than once) with a Kawi 550 and I was glad it had a blowout plate and that it was chained to the hood. Otherwise I never would have found it or it could have hurt someone (probably me).
People may or may not appreciate this level of detail.
The Kawasaki's use the JIS (Japaneses) standard threads which are interchangeable with the BSPT (British) standard. JIS is very difficult to find so most people will use BSTP which is more available in the US.
While JIS and BSTP are...
The 650 had room under the hood over the engine. That basket is pretty deep. I doubt it would fit a SXR. Plus you have to drill a bunch of hoiles through the hood to mount it. But the cap with a handhold is pretty cool!
Yes 1/8 NPT not 1/4 NPT would be the closest. I'm still pretty sure the stock fittings are something else very close to the 1/8 NPT. I should probably just go with the 1/8 NPT on the new hole and fitting and not worry about it. Thanks
These guys made one for a 650SX way back when. I got one, but bought a 750SXI before I got around to installing it.

I need an extra cooling line tapped into a 750 head for an SXR. I think it's a JIS / BSTP 1/4-19, but can't find it for sure anywhere. I could just use a 1/4 NPT, but I'd prefer not mix fittings.
I'd like to know if normally you can use these out of the box or do you usually need to bore or hone them to the finished STD size?
I'm sure an inspection and bore measurement would be mandatory. I've just never bought an OEM replacement cylinder, so I don't know how they come from the factory
There is room for two one Gal gas bladders or maybe a two Gal if you need more gas. But if you are really are serious about more gas search here under "SXR 6.6 Gallon Fuel Tanks". These are really nice and I see he is offering a 2.6 Gal add on tank now also.
