The gas cap just spins now and won't open. Clicks proper when tightening up. Key locks it down, unlocks it, and then it spins and spins but won't unthread out of the bung with key in or out. Range down to 17 miles sitting at the pump and no where to put the nozzle. I'm trying to love my new Rocket...maybe have enough gas to get back home so I can load it back up to the dealer... 👿
 
It seems like a problem with the gas locking mechanism m8. I guess that a change of the cap should solve it, however I feel your pain, nobody wants to get stuck somewhere 'cause no option to refuel..... **** :-(
 
I guess the key mechanism transfers over to a new cap. Or it has to be ordered specifically keyed. Back to the shop after having it out for one 5 mile ride. Good grief.
Well, if the lock is faulty, which it seems so, it has to be replaced. Ofc that means that it has to be manufactured for your key, which is kind of complicated. Maybe there is an option to replace just the mechanism, not the lock itself, if you know what I mean.

Sorry for reviving an old thread. Was there an easy fix for this? Had my R3R a few days, first time I went to fuel up, cap just wont unthread. Sounds like the same issue you had.
 
On my 07 you just turn the key and it pops up.
Didn't know that they changed it
Yeah. A monza style cover, with a key from the fob to unlock the actual cap. Mine unlocks and locks, just does not unthread when you twist it after unlocking. Brand new, didnt even to give it a first fill up...so much for my furst weekend ride :) Honestly do we still need locking gas caps in 2024?
