Gas cap won't open at all

[Gregger]

With the 1st gen Rockets I like the fact that one key is needed to open the gas cap and run the bike. This is super convient because I know where the ignition/gas cap key is at all times (in the ignition or gas cap)... Since the bike has to be shut down to fuel up (in our province) I know I won't misplace it while fueling or when I go to start the bike after fueling. How many of you have unlocked something, like a shed, only to place the key... somewhere, where it can never be found *^&#@*+... You guys never have this happen to you right???

Early in on my ownership I got fed up with the annoying gas cap and I stopped locking it every time.
I have a better relationship with it, now I don't need the key during the fill up process.

Same here. Never had another problem after not locking it.

no such explanation is in the manual.

Hmmm...in mine it's on page 78, but I know they aren't all the same.
