just bought one and napa part is 703-1589 for those also wanting one. about 7 dollars.

Would that be the same cap for a 650?

 

[tomfelock]

From what I understand - no. Suggestion - drive ur 650 to a napa store then take it in and ask them if thy have a match.

I never used the key on my 08 400 I just pulled up while twisting counterclockwise, worked like a charm. Finding one for the 650 though would be nice.

I picked mine up this morning and it works like a champ! Thanks for the tip!

 

[TeeMon]

Bought mine today and it seems to work just fine. Now I'll only use my locking cap on overnite trips when it's parked outside at the hotel/motel lot. Thanks for the info!

Rats, they must have fixed it on the 2011. I can't pull up and open mine.

They should have made the door locking not the cap. SUZUKI !!!

I have received a lot of help in this forum so anytime I can help someone else is a pleasure! Yesterday, when trying to unloosen my new gas cap, I had to get down on my knees and use both hands though. But............ at 68, that is to be expected once in a while.

THANK YOU!!!!!

This morning's gas fill-up was quite the acrobatic exercise with the key rings, gas cap, and the mini-door....along with a smidge of frustrated rider mixed in.

So found this post, went to NAPA, and $7.50 later am a happy Burgman 400 camper.

Once again, BurgmanUSA to the rescue!

 

[Mike337]

Yup, I did it too. It doesn't sound like much of an inconvenience with the key, but it sure is nice without one!

 

[fljohnboy]

I couldn't pull up on the gas cap either to get it open. I got to looking at the thing and took a piece of a metal coat hanger about an inch and wedged it inside the cap . Works perfect.

 

[cburgdof]

Did you put the coat hanger inside the cap or on the threads?

 

[fljohnboy]

No, not on the threads. The very last piece in the cap has some play and I wedged the piece of hanger in there. The piece you hear clicking is the piece you are wedging. You will see what I mean when you take the cap off and then use the key and lock the cap in your hand.
