Operating Instructions

Once installed, the gas cap operates like a standard threaded fuel cap. To open, turn counter-clockwise until loose. To close, align the cap with the fuel tank opening and turn clockwise until snug. Ensure the cap is fully tightened to prevent fuel leaks and maintain proper tank ventilation.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the gas cap with a soft cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• O-ring Inspection: Regularly check the O-ring for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. A damaged O-ring can lead to fuel leaks. Replace if necessary.
• Thread Inspection: Ensure the threads on both the cap and the fuel tank opening are clean and free of damage.

Troubleshooting

Cap Does Not Fit:

Verify that your motorcycle model and year are listed in the compatibility section. Some older or non-Harley models may have different thread types. If it does not fit, do not force it, as this can damage the fuel tank threads.

Fuel Leakage:

Ensure the O-ring is properly seated and not damaged. Tighten the cap firmly but do not overtighten. If leakage persists, inspect the O-ring for wear and replace if needed. If the problem continues, consult a professional.

Difficulty Closing/Opening:

Check for any debris in the threads of the cap or the fuel tank. Clean thoroughly. Ensure the cap is aligned correctly before attempting to screw it on or off.

Specifications

User Tips

• Many users report excellent quality and a perfect fit on various Harley models, including Road King (2000), Sportster Forty-Eight, and even some Triumph Bonneville America (2002).
• The metal construction contributes to a secure and easy closing mechanism.
• Be aware that the crown edges might be slightly sharp; handle with care during installation and use.
• While generally compatible with many Harley models, some users noted that the thread might be specific to more modern Harley tanks. Always double-check compatibility for your specific model and year, especially for non-Harley motorcycles like the Honda Shadow VT 600cc (1998) or Suzuki Intruder 1400, where fitment may vary.
