        None of my Yamaha's have an o-ring there, its a rather strange o-ring shaped piece but it's semi-flat with a skirt.

          Ok, is it just me or does the name of the part just make one cringe? I don't need a seal for that quite yet. When I do, I don't think I'll be riding anymore, or if I do, I'll wear depends.

            Well, thanks for all the replies but what I was hoping for was the dimensions so as to find a cheaper alternative. I'll measure the old broken one I guess.

              Be very careful, as that part has gas behind it, and most o-rings are NOT going to be gas safe. It's better IMHO to spend the extra on the right part, than to put a cheap part that may not hold the gas back properly.
