Gas Cap really tight
Hello, Anyone have an issue with their gas cap being difficult to put on and take off. Mine seems like it's binding a lot. It is becoming more difficult to twist this thing even to the point of the cap ratcheting (spinning) without really threading down.
It doesn't look like it had been cross threaded, or that anything is scuffing around the threads. It seems like the cap has either swelled or gone out of round.
I mentioned this to the service writer at the dealer when it went in for the 5K service. He said they put WD40 on it but if it is still an issue they would replace it. It's still an issue so I will be bringing it back.
Just wondering if it is just me or is there any one else with this issue. Haven't seen anything posted here, usually read this forum often.

They did look it over and said it looks ok, so I had to give them a little push to swap it with another new bike. The new one works great.
