Alternate gas cap.

#1 Post by RC45 » Sun Apr 10, 2016 11:24 pm

Any options for a non-locking universal gas cap for the stock RZ500 tank? Some sort of generic twist close for this generation Yamaha steel tank must exist some place :)

Not sure if this helps, but what I can tell you is that the early FZR600 caps fit the RZ, the difference was that the FZ had a plastic cover over the tank, so the cap sits up higher if you put it on the RZ, but it is useable and I am thinking the FZR600 had a lot more aftermarket support and race parts support than the RZ, so maybe there was something available for the FZR that would fit with little or not modification.

YBR 125. Then change the lock over or rekey the wafers in the new one to match your old key

Been there done that - twice after losing keys, twice. This is a track only bike without a steering lock.

Ended up buying tank with a new filler opening weld in :)

Problem solved.
