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???

Hi ya
I'd suggest taking the cap with key to your local locksmith,they can make a silk purse out of a sows ear
Good luck,Alan

Thanks to all for the helpful response..

Amazing what a couple of cold coopers sparkling ales can do to an out of work locksmith. Picked it up the next day and walllaa.. Alls u beaut again... With a price of $77.oo for a second hand one from the wreckers.. A few beers was well worth it..
