Gas cap tip

Post by Lumpy Rider »

When refueling, especially when the engine is hot, avoid placing the gas cap along the edge of the fuel tank cup/overflow as it may fall and become wedged between the faux tank and bundles of wiring. Disregard if you have small hands.

Lumpy, my bike has a cap holder mounted on the fill cover/lid. I just lat the cap in that cradle holder thingy ma-bob and that way when I'm done I won't forget to replace it onto the tank!

it sets real well on top of the ignition switch on the handle bars. Also you can't forget to reinstall because you can' t put the key in.
