Filler cap removal
 
I am in trying to remove the filler cap to paint the tank on my 600ss DD bike. I have removed the 8 alan head grub screws in the alloy plate at which point I thought it would come out but no:puzzled: I have tried to twist ( both ways) and pull but no joy.:mad: Do I need to do something else to get it out.

They are damm tight,had the same problem with 888.Asked the same question,slide hammers mentioned!.Eventually it pulled out,reassemble with a bit of rubber grease on O ring.

Remove the grub screws completely and spray some wd40 in the holes. Use a hammer shaft in the filler and "work" it to help the wd move around the o-ring.
don't lever too hard else you'll dent the tank :o
