Removing Fuel Cap WITHOUT a key! - old son - 25-01-16
I have changed over my ignition switch and all is OK. I was sure I had put my old key in my pocket but now I can't find it. I can't find my spare key either so I can't fill my fuel tank. I need to remove the entire cap but it seems there is a single bolt under the cap and I can't get the cap assembly off.
I have tried picking the lock, no use. I could try drilling the lock?
Would Yahama have a key number if they had my chassis number?
I am stuck at the moment, don't know what to try next?

I have drilled out the lock, it took all of 10 seconds!!

I was about to say that you might want to leave that to an expert.You got away with it this time but I wouldn't recommend you make a habit of it, metal drilling metal just above a tank of fuel and fuel vapour is not always going to finish well.

I would have hoped the tank was not leaking fumes!! If it did my garage would stink!!! I take your point though.
