could replacing the keyfob battery help? if the key is low it might send spurious locking signals.. moving the plunger the wrong way as you close the cap. |

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #13 Looking at the last picture there is a notch in the tang on the cap. Suggests some excessive wear. My cap does not have this notch and the bike is a 2016 with over 20000 miles. I would be looking at the cap alignment |

This is my keyless cap.... working correctly... hopefully the locking pin alignment will help . |
|
there is a small vertical pin in the locking slide on mine... I cannot see yours in your pictures, could it have been dislodged and be sitting in the sealing ring preventing closure?

Zitat von Mark im Beitrag #31 Yes I have. The plunger doesn't move. At least not with the gas cap raised and me watching.

Zitat von JohnnyRockett im Beitrag #32 No problem with the key fob. When the battery is low, you get a warning light on the dash. Besides, there is no problem turning on the ignition or starting the bike.

Zitat von JohnnyRockett im Beitrag #34 That looks like it could be the issue. I don't know what the vertical pin does, but mine does not stick up through the hole in the plunger. I really wish I knew exactly how the cap keyless locking mechanism functioned. I can't figure out what the vertical pin does, but I suspect whatever it does, if it doesn't raise upward into the hole in the plunger it will not allow the cap to fully close. My next plan of attack is to use a very small pair of needle nose pliers to try to force the pin upward into the hole in the plunger. Wessie, my bike has 27K miles on the clock, so my cap has likely been mashed down more than yours. But I don't think any wear in the cap lock tab would prevent the cap from closing flush with the top of the tank cover.

If you don't resolve this issue... there appears to be a used keyless fuel cap on eBay for £80. (No connection to me) some useful pics of it too.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #40 I also would like to know what the vertical pin does. On both of our bikes the pin does not always stick up. On our bikes the cap works ok even when the pin is not raised. I started to pay attention to that pin after we had trouble with Debbie's cap not opening. I mentioned to the service manager at Kansas City about the pin not always being in the raised position and he said it didn't matter. I think her plunger was gummed up. After spraying it with WD 40 several times it took two days for the cap to work normally. When her cap would not open she would cycle the switch on and off or raise the tab several times. Her hearing is better than mine. She would listen for a click before fully lifting the tab. I don't think any of this will help you but it might help others when the cap refuses to open.

Zitat von JohnnyRockett im Beitrag #41 Good price. The keyless cap cost $438 US.

$438 thats steep.... appears all the latest R models with keyless use the same cap. |

Zitat von JohnnyRockett im Beitrag #44 I was surprised to see the regular gas cap costs $230. Another option in case replacement is needed is to use a billet gas cap that does not require a key. Lee |
