FAQs

What is the main benefit of the flush-mount design?

The flush-mount design provides a cleaner, more integrated look for your motorcycle's fuel tank and helps prevent snagging or wind resistance.

Does this fuel cap lock?

Yes, it features a keyed entry system for added security against unauthorized access.

Will this fit my 1980 motorcycle?

This cap is designed for 1983 and later models with screw-in style fuel caps. It may not fit older models or those with pop-up caps.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

No special tools are typically required. Installation usually involves simply unscrewing the old cap and screwing in the new one, though reusing the gasket might require careful handling.

What if my motorcycle is a 1998 model?

For motorcycles manufactured later than 1996, you will need to reuse your stock gas cap gasket during the installation of the Kuryakyn Flush-Mount Fuel Cap.

How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For best results, use a mild chrome polish and buff with a clean, soft cloth.

Can I replace the lock cylinder if I lose the key?

Information regarding lock cylinder replacement is not provided in the product details. It's recommended to keep keys in a safe place or get a spare made.

Troubleshooting

Fuel cap is difficult to screw in.

Ensure you are using the correct orientation and that no debris is in the fuel tank opening. Verify compatibility with your motorcycle's fuel cap style.

Key is stiff or won't turn.

Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based lubricant designed for locks. Ensure the cap is fully seated before attempting to turn the key.

Fuel cap does not seal properly.

Check that the stock gasket (if reused) is correctly seated and in good condition. For tanks later than '96, reusing the correct gasket is essential for a proper seal.

Chrome appears dull or shows spots.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn spots, use a dedicated chrome cleaner sparingly and buff with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This fuel cap is designed for 1983 and later model motorcycles equipped with screw-in style fuel caps. For tanks manufactured later than 1996, you will need to reuse your stock gas cap gasket during installation.

Setup:

  1. Ensure your fuel tank is cool and the motorcycle is on a stable, level surface.
  2. Unscrew and remove the stock fuel cap.
  3. If applicable, carefully remove the stock gasket from your old cap and transfer it to the new Kuryakyn cap, ensuring a proper seal. For tanks later than '96, this step is crucial.
  4. Screw the Kuryakyn Flush-Mount Fuel Cap into the fuel tank opening until snug. Do not overtighten.
  5. Test the cap by opening and closing it with the key to ensure smooth operation.

Care: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that can scratch the chrome. Periodically check the gasket for wear and replace if necessary to maintain a proper seal.
