    I recently got an xj650 for only 200 dollars. It still needs a lot of work, but I got it running again. I'm trying to replace all broken or Jimmy rigged parts with oem or oem equipment parts.

    What I need right now is a cap for the gear oil on the rear axle as the previous owner simply glued a vacuum cap on it and used a self tapper as the "cap"

    Does anyone know the part number or where I could get a replacement cap for the rear gear oil fill port?

    The fill plug sort of in the middle or the vent thing on the top?

    Having done a tad more research I now know it's the vent cap, not the fill cap
