    fuel cap busted

    stick the key in and can only turn it a quarter of the way and it wont open. and a replacement costs 87$. anyone have any good ideas?

    Did it used to work recently? Have you tried soaking it with Kroil, WD-40, or some other penetrating oil? Lockease can work wonders for that kind of thing. It's extremely fine graphite in a quick dissolving solvent. Assuming, of course, that it isn't actually broken.
    The gastank cover on my bike was like that when I got it, but a nightlong soak with Kroil did the trick.

      You've probably already thought this thru but you'll first need to get it off (drill out or locksmith) and then get it fixed (locksmith) or replaced (dealer, bike bandit or ebay). If you replace and want to use the original key you'll probably need a locksmith.

      If you have enough gas in it you might want to schedule an appointment with a local locksmith to drop it off for repair.

      Good luck,
