Re: Petrol Cap Replacements
There is a place on here somewhere that gives a discount on TVM fuel caps.

That's my recommendation. Had one on the ZX6R for a while now. The quality is excellent.

Have the same tvm one and happy with it.
Tbh I have a tvm one and a Harris one and they look identical. I'm sure there made by the same people and just badged differently.

Re: Petrol Cap Replacements
Yes I have had experience with lots of petrol loss. One ride on the ducati when some kind person removed the cap while I was in the shop and then had to ride home with my hand over the hole in the tank.
Just bought a diamond racing one and I'm impressed nice quality and not badly priced.

"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

Yes...with whatever fancy-schmancy quick-release cap I had....there's a tiny breather hose that it needs...you don't use it, and gas will start to ooze out of the cap....'gas expansion' or sommit???
