oil filler cap
Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2010 6:12 am
Riding away from my house the other day i felt some pressure blowing up against my right leg. I looked down to discover my oil cap was missing. I doubled back and couldn't find it. Maybe it shot off on my last ride, I don't know. Couple of questions / thoughts.
I checked all of the Kawi dealers around the Pittsburgh area and not a one had a cap in stock.
A friend of mine from near State College, PA is sending me a spare w a gasket, but that will take a couple of days. Does anybody know what the metric size would be if i wanted to head down to the local hardware store to get a temporary plug?
Another question.. do any of you have the low profile / tamper free caps? Are they worth the $$$.
Final thoughts: I should have tightened that cap down gorilla tight and not pansy tight. After seeing how hard it is to find a replacement, maybe it would be a good to have a spare in hand.
