is there anything i can use to lubricate the filler cap on my firebolt? its hard to even get the key in the lock, then youve gotta wrestle with it to unlock it, and its equally difficult trying to get the key back out.

can i spray something in there, or does it come apart at all?

I had that problem on the Emerald Isle trip, sometimes tit took several minutes to get the key in.

Just fill the lock with WD40 or equivalent & work the key in & out

Works a treat

I thought you are not supposed to use WD40 for things like that.
it can act like an abrasive if there is any dirt in there and make the problem worse.

Well get somebody else to do it who isn't a tit........

Hven't you got a C90 to fettle

Sometimes I wish it would break just for something to do..... the Roz Racing Vision 80 is as good too, supremely reliable...... and quick. Although at 85 miles per gallon it's a bit thirsty.....

mine was doing it up untill last week turned it upside down thats the filler cap not the bike lol
squirted wd40 in the key hole with the straw attached to hold flap open and flushed out
then turned it up the normal way stuck my key in a tub of greese then stuck it in the hole kept doin this bout three times wiped the key off n its fine now

now after filling up it also lubes the ignition from the greese from the filler

Is the word, is the word, is the word.......
