    New Yoyodyne gas cap!

    So my gas cap was leaking. If i filled it past 3/4 it would weep fuel when i would brake and accelerate and get fuel all over the top of the tank and my lap. So just got my yoyodyne 1/4 keyless cap. Unlike the cheaper ones that screw into the tank, this one rides on a cam profile, and is only 1/4 turn.



    Base plate


    assembled






    Only thing i had a problem with was no instructions. It didn't tell me if i had to use the stock base gasket or not. And also didn't tell me the orientation of the base plate. After a few trial and errors i got it lined so the bolts were symmetrical.

    Also the other thing is there is a gap between the edge of the top piece and the sides of the tank. its not very big but you know its there. At first I cussed their shotty workmanship, but since the tank is plastic it probably flexes enough to warrant a gap. all in all, happy with the product. Very well made, the finish is great, and the technology behind is fantastic as well.

    That looks very nice. I have the LighTech on my R6 and had a gap also. What I ended up doing is cutting the middle out of the stock gasket to fill in the edge like the stock cap. Worked good enough for me.

    Degs is in Bhutan or Kung Pao or something... he's likely away from PM for a bit.

    Nice looking setup. Cost? Avail for most bikes?
