    I should have the Stainless Steel, allen-head (hex-drive) carb bowl drain screws available for the Mikuni carb bowls available by the end of this month. These are the "mikuni-only" versions of the Hitachi bowl drain screws that has been available and everyone has been using successfully for years.

    The prototype units have been made, tested, and approved for production. I know a lot of people have inquired about these screws.

    g5m) Aftermarket Mikuni carb Bowl Drain Screw. Bright finish 18-8 stainless steel allen head (hex-drive socket head), taper-point screw fits into the drain hole passage of each carb bowl. Works better than the original Yamaha screw; not only is it made of stainless steel, but the larger allen-head design allows for more torque to be applied to the screw, forever ending the stripped/stuck/ruined drain screw problem that has plagued Yamaha owners forever! Note that by their design, the large allen head portion of this drain screw will be located OUTSIDE of the drain screw bore hole in the bowl.

    It is recommended that anti-seize compound be used on the screw threads when fitting them into the carb bowl passage.

    The HCP6279 screw is correct for all XJ700-X and XJ750-X models with Mikuni carbs. This screw will also work just fine in all XJ550, XJ900, and XJ1100 carb bowls, but the original drain screws on those models had an integral o-ring, which is not present on this replacement screw. The lack of the o-ring on this replacement screw presents absolutely no fit or sealing/leakage issues on those models originally equipped with a bowl drain screw that used an o-ring.

    HCP6279 aftermarket allen-head stainless-steel carb bowl drain screw, each:
    $ 6.50

    HCP6279SET4 aftermarket allen-head stainless-steel carb bowl drain screw,
    set of 4:
    $ 24.00

    Available: around February 5th, 2008. Pre-order before February 1, 2008 and get FREE shipping in the USA and Canada.

    Thanks so much for the effort Chacal. This is a very needed and useful upgrade and I appreciate you doing it. I have them on my Hitachi carbs and love them!
