Tank lock

Mmmm, I take it you do not have a key number ? can you remove the whole thing from the tank and remove the tumbler or buy another complete ? or maybe a lock smith can sort it out for you ? or perhaps you can pick it and get to the tumbler they are simple locks so you should be able too,
just a few ideas and I hope you sort it.

You tosser (well did you say we could take the pîss)

Now that we've got that out of the way - here's what I would do:

1. Do a search on Ebay for tank filler caps; http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Air-Intak...l?_from=R40&ghostText=&_nkw=Triumph+Sprint+RS

2. Now undo the 6 retaining screws on the existing petrol tank cap and remove - set aside DO NOT THROW AWAY!

3. Fit new replacement tank cap of your choice;

4. If you feel the need to, take your old (lockable but missing keys) petrol cap to a locksmith who will be able to supply you with a new key for it.

 

Thanks Dinu I was having a cruddy day, hope you get it sorted

 

Nigal, good advice above from thebiglad, also you may have a key number in your paperwork but it will be worth giving the Triumph Dealer a ring as they may be able to trace the key number from the vin number or have a master key I am sure this has happened before or a key broken off in it etc
it might be easier to go thebiglads way ? but it is still worth a phone call

Hope you get it sorted

 

Nice one but still an expensive mistake, I am sure you will not do it again, I always put unknown and odd keys in a jar in the garage until I am sure I do not need them.

I think you might of just been unlucky, I have had nothing but good service from Jack Lilley over the years, but it does seem to have taken a long time to get it sorted, but I suppose if getting relacement keys was easy we would have more thefts. I might add that BMW cars and bikes are the worst in imo to get keys from.

Hey guess what "your Human" and Humans F**k up, Just a "DOH!!" Moment and the people who are trying to help you with new keys Guess what? Their human too ... peace

 

Glad you got it sorted at last. Must admit, Dinu, I wouldn't not buy a bike on the basis of their "key cutting" service. If it was more directly a bike part , service issue maybe, but then again not many people would throw an engine or brake calliper away by mistake! ;-)
