    That stupid silver insert makes visibility poor when filling and the shut off on the fuel pump can't read properly. They are a pain, and the faux rad cap fitting is an arsenal.

    They have updated the cap - but the dealers have no idea why. I found that if the overflow/ expansion clip is fitted legs up - it pushes on the center lug and pops the cap ring off.

    Hows the new cap secured? Did you have to buy it or was it a warranty claim?

    Warranty claim - but no one knows why the change. Will lock wire through hole or cable tie inside

    One stealership in Abergele said not warranty as never had heard of it falling off, but another got one on warranty. Go figure...... just watched a video on YouTube and the bike they are riding has one missing
