chasing a fuel cap

Post by cobbadiggabuddyblooo » Fri Dec 05, 2008 3:05 am

Well bit of a drama placing fuel in the bike of present. Key doesn't want to unlock the cap...mmm.. Had a similar prob bout 12mths earlier and went to the spare key and after a little graphite and holding the tongue the right way ...alls good..
But now I'm unbolting the cap via the 7 allen keys so any one got a spare cap and key that works they want to part with in australia???
