( sorry about the repeat. Posted in klx section B4 realizing it should be in the general tech section. )


Good day All.
( KLx250s 2007 )
My gas tank lock is not allowing me to open the tank. Can't turn the key.
I'm using penetrating oil ( 14 hours now ). And tapping on the lock. No luck.
The lock always seemed loose to the key. ( key would and does wiggle fore and aft. Never did fit in snug. )

SO! I advise everyone to go out and lube the two locking pins that hold the gas cap closed.
Sure do wish I had.
And now what do I do?
I'll keep trying. And hope for help from anyone in KLX land. Please let me know if there is a way to get the tank open or the lock to unlock.

Otherwise I'm after a second hand tank w/a key. Anyone in/near London Ontario Canada preferred. Or further away if ....
BeWell. Yours sincerely M

 

Keep the post in the KLX section. It belongs there. Few come here to look at much.

 

Finally got it to open. Well lubed now. Anyone else with a loose gas cap lock? Watch out it may stick.
BeWell.
