Cool video thanks

Easy fix for ( Zx9r ) ,thanks alot bro!

Yes, helpful.

I have same problem with cbr1000rr 2011

Trying to fine one cheaper oem is 173

I just got a gpz500s - hasn’t be run for 10 years, I’ll be doing this tomorrow for sure!! The key turns 50% (after a lot of wd40) just like the video, keep fingers crossed this works! I’ll let you know tomorrow 😂

Success. Works perfectly, thanks bro 👍

Thank you this totally works they did move the screw in another spot so look around for it but super worked thanks again

I managed to eventually get my cap off just two weeks ago by just prying it off. I had tried everything but the latch mechanism was just so corroded. How i seem to have gotten it off was by stripping that inner safety screw out somehow

THANK YOU VERY MUCH...!!! THIS WORKED AFTER A WEEK OF FIGHTING THINGS. THANK YOU..!!!

I had told my son who got a 2009 500R Ninja, a great bike, to open and clean that mechanism with some fine grit sandpaper to stop the surface rust from starting and carb cleaner for the key/spring area. Always put a rag in the tank opening so no foreign material/solvent can get in. If you clean/lube it regularly it should not stick. This video shows a great way to try to get in. Sometimes you can get lucky(with the lock) with a steady full turn of the key while bumping the top with a rubber mallet- just so it makes it hopefully slip all the way to allow that slider to let go. Its worth a try. If you damage the key area with a screw driver, etc, it *may open and then you must use a tool from then on and no lock. Worst case, pry it ip just enough to remove screw with offset screw driver and replace with a like model(keeping good maintenance) or replace with just the spin on. There is also a way if you remove ge tank and float you can reach up and pop it open with a long screw driver or like. The keys on these are east to bend/break. Just my 2 cents from an old bike guy. Seriously this is a great way to try. *Just like we have to do my sons now!!!

I'm about to try this. Cap hasn't been opened in about 5yrs. I've ordered a new cap, locksmith says he can rekey it for me to match the ignition, but I cannot get the cap to open. I think it'll run with new gas, but I can't get gas in there

Very helpful

Fuck this is gonna be tedious

Thankyou

Excellent! Thanks so much. Worked a treat. The only thing I couldn't do was to rotate the cap afterwards as I didn't realise it was necessary to lift the cap enough to hold the hinge above the recess otherwise the hinge recess prevents the cap from turning. I ended up popping the cap off with a bit of leverage from the rear. That little screw was the answer.
