My next purchase is a new oil cap, my bike also has one of these POS oil caps, first the top came off, epoxyed it back on, then one of the rings w/bearings came apart (which did make it easier to get on/off. I agree they are more trouble than they are worth (to me).

To All; big problem comes when you try to change the battery. Loosen small set screw, wires inside easely twist and break. Can happen while taking apart or putting back together. Be Careful, otherwise unit has worked fine on my ride for 58,000+ miles. Good Ride To All
