Gas cap
Im still on my first tank of gas, but Ive opened it a couple times to check on the level.
Each time I had to fight with the thing to get it off. Whats the trick?
I read something about push and turn, but as far as I can tell there is no push to be had.
I tried prying it up with a key a little, dont want to scratch anything, some how it eventually came off.

They are a pain, I put this one on, looks much better, is tamper proof, and doesn't rattle like the original one.

If you are having problems after riding for a bit, you might be having problems with it not venting. You need to have t checked out, A friend of mine just bought an aftermarket from the stealer and it was defective and the lack of gas when it cooled down at night caved in the whole top of his tank. Make sure it is venting good

The big tank, 34 mile on the bike 
.I dont know if it was full when it left the dealer or what. just been riding around the neighborhood trying to get used to the controls. (1st motorcycle)
been like a cat in a new house, each trip goes a little farther from the pourch.

i guess there a lot more than the engine that has to break in, like finding neutral, the gas cap...
