Gas cap, fuel cap gasket: 1983 Suzuki GS850G

[Guest]

Please respond if you know of a replacement for the rubber gasket on the gas cap of GS850G. I am cleaning my tank and see a leak of the vinegar solution around the fuel cap when I invert it, so expect the same with gasoline when it is put back in service.

The entire gas cap is available (cap set, fuel tank pn:44200-49810) with keys, but I want to keep only one key for both ignition and cap. There is no separate part number for the gasket and none is identified on the parts fiche diagram.

Perhaps someone knows of a substitute from another model for which there is a part number and will work on my cap.

BTW: there is an eBay listing from China for the entire cap for little $. If no OEM substitute can be identified, I will buy the China one and only use the gasket from it.

Regards, Schwaco BTW: I just bought this beautiful moto and joined your forum.

Thank you Roger. Unfortunately, there is nothing definitive in the link. It would help if folks provided url links and part#s. I did locate the following on 2FastMoto for a GS650 ($22), which I found is the same as for GS850. Also, below that is the China one from eBay ($12).

I'll order the China one as it appears to be the same item as the one from 2FastMoto for 1/2 the cost. If it is not satisfactory I've only wasted little $ and I'll try spreading a light coat of black silicone over the bottom edge of my existing rubber seal.

I didn't have a gasket on my gas cap. So I purchased the new gas cap from 2fastmoto, and put the gasket on my old cap. Couldn't find just the rubber gasket. I needed the metal spring also anyway.
