Can't get a stupid gas cap off!!!

Bought a new tank for the SV. Didnt come with a key so gotta swap caps. Playing hell getting the old one off and still no luck. Anybody been through this before? Any suggestions on getting the cap to unlock so it'll pull out?

 

Locksmith in the morning, carry the tank in and they will make a key for ya

 

When i forgot my keys at home once we ended up using a screwdriver and wrench to break the tumbler.

 

First insert an new key 45% of the way into the lock...

 

Have you tried the key from the bike?
I know as a fact that the key from several different bikes open my tank, even though they wouldnt start my bike.

 

Nice one!

 

Giant square shank screwdriver and crescent wrench

 

And when you're done trashing the fuel cap, give Yoyodyne a call and get one of these. Dead sexy in terms of function and reliability and no key to forget!

 

LMAO @ Kesler

 

High speed drill into the center of it. Haven't you ever broke a cash box open?

 

What Joe said, Q.

 

Just take a torch and blow out the tumbler

 

I hate you all

 

Bite it off.

 

Yea unfortunately don't work though

 

Thought about this option but just wasn't sure whether it would even work and if not, then making it impossible for a locksmith as a last resort. But ill give it a shot and see what I can do. Worst case if that don't work I'll drill it out til there ain't nothin left in the hole !

 

Drill the hole big enough to drop an M-80 in there to blow it off.

 

Good idea. Ill be sure to dump some gas in just for good measure

 

Thin flathead jammed in.. Turn clockwise then buy a vortex...

 

You'll need two things

1) A flat head screw driver

2) A hammer (or similar object)

Directions - Put flat head screw driver into the lock (where the key goes). Hit the end of the screw driver with the hammer (Or similar object). It'll destroy the pens inside the lock and you'll be able to open it. Just turn it like a key.
