I don't know if you can get the gaskets alone, but there is a guy selling the petcock repair kits on eBay. Do a search for XJ1100 (no spaces). He has two listed right now.

At my local bike shop they have a assortment of those things to choose out of. I got mine that way and saved a bundle!!! An independent bike shop can be a sweet thing if managed correctly......(different motives maybe?)

I guess you are talking about the rubber seal with five holes in it. You can (I did a couple of years ago) order them online from zanotti motors for about half as much as Yamaha sells them for.

My local independent shop ordered a petcock rebuild kit from part unknown. It was a K&L kit, $24. Parts to do two petcocks.

A few years ago, whenst I was just a wee shaver, I used a child's rubber soled cowboy boot (yeah I'm a *hit kicker, but used to be a red neck) and some punches to fashion two of them. They worked fine until I was sure everything on the bike would work and then bought them new to replace the home mades. As I remember, the toughest part was getting the thickness just right.
