How to Open a Motorcycle Fuel Tank Cap?
1 Answers
Most motorcycle fuel tanks are located under the seat, which requires a key to open the seat, and then the fuel tank cap can be twisted open. If the key is lost, the steps to open the fuel tank are as follows: 1. Remove the liner covering the fuel tank inside the trunk. The liner is usually secured by some plastic clips and can be easily pried open with a screwdriver. 2. After removing the liner, you can see the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap, as well as the cable used for remote operation of the fuel tank cap. Simply pull the cable, and the fuel tank cap will open. 3. If this doesn't work, you can press the movable part of the locking mechanism while continuously pulling the cable, and the fuel tank cap will open easily. Some models have a dedicated switch on the locking mechanism; pressing this switch will open the fuel tank cap.
