View Full Version : Fuel Cap Lock
Is it possible ( as in easy DIY job) to modify the lock in a filler cap to open with any key?
I've just bought a spare tank for trackday use with cap but no key and don't want to have to replace the cap if I don't have to.
Thanks
Jason
u2u Skidlids, he did the one i bought of him.
Jason when you find the solution let me know please as I have just bought a spare tank for track days and the fuel cap i have has a key but I would rather use one key for bike and cap.

Get a non-locking cap is the easiest way.
Bought mine for £50 from http://www.moto2.co.uk/ but I think that was a show special.
Saw these on ebay today which might be worth a look...

Note that the round caps are universal - same for 916/748 as for SS, etc.

I'd rather save the £50 if I can, though it's on my options list.

I'll second that. i only paid £75 for the tank, pump and cap.
mind you the tank is yellow and has a slight scratch:lol:

Cheers Kev,
Had a read through it, and it looks OK to me, so I'll give it a go at the weekend.
Job done, Kev's instructions were spot on, and he's right about that spring behind the catch!!
