oil tank cap. - Horizons Unlimited

**stormsearcher** · #1 20 Oct 2005

did a trip from the bluemountains in oz to phillip island and back thro the dirt/back roads. found the oil tank cap pitting and melting.anyway used a piece of metal to use as a shield for the heat.i have heard this is a problem.apart from this the bike was flawless(daily riding of 600+kms), engine has been rebuilt totally, clocked 4000kms. found the seat pretty comfy too.)is there a metal replacement for the cap?where can i find one?

I have a XT that has done the same thing to its oil cap. It has not proved a problem since. Wahtch out if the dip stick on the cap has melted as the molten plastick can block the oil feed pipes to the engine. Resulting in oil starvation and subsequent death.
