What you decide to do will likely depend on whether you can diagnose which part of the petcock is damaged. This will, of course, involve taking it apart and looking at it before you order parts. This is the cheapest way, but you'll have to wait for parts.

There is a rebuild kit from K&L Supply, part #18-2723, but it is for the E series (86-87) bikes. It doesn't have the correct diaphragm for the later F (88-07) bikes. All the other parts, mainly o-rings and gaskets, are the right ones, but if your diaphragm is bad, plan on spending another $25 on top of the $25 for this kit, which puts you in the ballpark for a new one, already put together.
