It’s Redbull, just smile and back up slowly. No sudden moves.

What's wrong with the OEM fuel tank cap? Or more importantly, what are the pros of the new one?
They look better and are lighter. But usually more of a pain to use.

Lost Key | General Bike Related Topics
Before I lose my mind with the people in my home, I want to make sure I didn’t accidentally lock my key inside my bike. Is it possible to remove the hump without the key? I need to check in there.

I'm going to have to go back and see what gas cap I ran on my Gen2. Had ran aftermarket so long, I had forgotten what it was like to need to use a key to fill up, lol. I miss not needing a key!

take the lock ring around the gas cap off. i open gas cap and stuffed a rag to reduce chance of dropping anything in there. then take the side panels under the handle bars, allen bolts and pushpins. then remove the hardware plus the 2 plastic push pins, hidden behind fairing on the actual tank cover. after that the gas tank cover has velcro on the sides and in the front by steering neck that is a pop pin. i grab the piece from the sides and lift fwd. i loosen the the upper side fairing bolts to allow my to move them enough access the side push pins on the tank. in the pic without the side fairing you can see the pushpin above the engine mount bolt and the black allen head bolt towards the front of tank. on the back u can see how the velcro attaches the side fairing.

Thank you!!
Had it off in no time, unfortunately the gas cap I ordered does not fit because of the plastic tank cover.

The plastic cover opening is larger then the gas cap. If anything is trimmed the gaps would be even larger unless I'm missing something.
First time I see this thread and it’s pretty interesting. I assumed the gen3 gas cap was a 4 bolt design and my gen2 TWM cap would not work but, looks like the only thing with 4 bolts is that ring on top. I would love to use my keyless cap but, not sure how I feel about trimming anything on a new bike to make the cap fit.
Isn't it only 3 bolts that actually thread in, and the other 2 bolts are for looks/other models?
On the gen2, yes. Looks like the gen3 has that 4 bolt ring to sandwich the plastic cover between it and the actual gas gap. Gas cap
Itself looks like same 3 bolt design.
Gsxrs only use 3 bolts too.
I think all the same gas caps fit all Suzuki sport/sport touring bikes for at least 30 years now, lol
You are right, normally it says something like, fits hayabusa, gsxs, gsxr, bandit, sv, etc……….since Stone Age.
