Quick gen 1 gas cap mod

A little gen 1 gas cap mod.... turn the key to open it, pull the key out, and you can push the cap closed without the key in it.

What the f**k ?

[SteayEddie]

Just allows you to close the cap without the key in it, no a big deal.....

[Neon Knight]

But what have you actually done to it ?

[Dead Eye]

He milled out part of the cap (best compared between images 2 and 3)

[Neon Knight]

Lol Now you come to mention it it does seem kind of obvious. I should have gone to specsavers. Cheers

Why ???

[PieEater]

To get a pair of glasses ???

Very good ! I meant why do you have to modify the cap. You need your key for the ignition so its not as if you have gone keyless.

I think it's so you don't have to leave the key in the lock once you have opened the filler cap, you can just push to shut minus the key being there. I guess it's handy if you have other keys or objects on your keyring that might scratch the tank, but I don't expect most would have the equipment handy to mill out the required section. I've fitted an aftermarket non locking cap to mine as I have my bike garaged when I'm not using it and as it's black it goes better with the blue / black colour scheme than the OEM one.
