Does anyone have an oil filler cap? mine vibrated out just off the M5 - No damage and oil level was OK had a massive rear tyre slide.
If you have one, can you stick it in the post for me, as obviously cannot ride without it! will pay

Re: Urgent Help required
Thanks everyone,
was a worry as just a few minutes before I had been tanking down the M5 at 90+ and I decided to come off early due to traffic on the motorway! shortly after leaving motorway, back wheel was covered in oil and I had a massive slide.
If I had stayed on the motorway I could have totalled the bike / myself and or wrecked the engine
Maybe there is a god?
will be checking oil cap is tight in future before setting off

Re: Urgent Help required
While on the subject of oil caps. Is the R6 or the R1 filler cap the same thread and size as the TRX?

Re: Urgent Help required
So a thunderace oil cap screws right in and gives oil temp? Little gauge on top with a probe? might be handy for me as I only have a speedo!
