Bikes quietly drain your wallet.
It would be fine if I just left things alone… <\/strong>
Is it because of my line of work? Or am I just easily bored?
Plus, the personal projects I do <\/strong>
barely lead to work <\/strong>\u2014it’s a RACING kind of life.

Daily self-satisfaction, <\/strong>
and as just another bike rider, <\/strong>I’m enjoying the present day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The stock cap would’ve been fine, but swapping it out is a hassle… <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The stock fuel cap is available,
but “two keys” <\/strong>is just not acceptable to me…
So I’m looking for an aftermarket fuel cap <\/strong>or… that’s how it goes.

The famous Newton brand\u2014
there’s nothing that fits directly… Make one myself? = Too lazy <\/strong>so that’s out.
Amazon has cheap knockoffs, but “gasoline leaks are annoying,” <\/strong>right?

I chose the reliable “Garuda” <\/strong>brand’s “TWM RACING FUEL CAP” <\/strong>instead.

I’ll mention this upfront: switching from the stock hinged cap to a detachable one <\/strong>means you need to set it down when refueling and watch out for dropping it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That aggressive machined look…
I went with black-on-black. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Probably? Well, it gets pretty dirty, so I went with black.
Black hides all the dirt and wear… <\/strong>supposedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base color is black only,
but you can choose the cap color: <\/strong>
“Black \/ Gold \/ Blue \/ Red \/ Silver” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charcoal canister compatible <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Export models and some emission-controlled models <\/strong>
have charcoal canisters <\/strong>installed, right?
This cap works with those models too.

Most of you with carb bikes won’t need it though.
Kawasaki fixes all seven… <\/strong>I was shocked to learn that! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It might be a bit flashy for an old guy like me (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, it’s basically a dress-up part. <\/strong>
You don’t need a key to open it anymore, <\/strong>but… you do need to remove it when refueling, like a car. <\/strong>
If you want to shine and sparkle, go for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
