990 Broken Fuel Filler Cap


Recommended Posts

So I was filling up the bike in Baker on Friday on my way back from Utah and the right side fuel filler cap just fell off!  I looked at where it broke and was surprised to see it's a very thin piece of what looks to be low quality pot metal.

But the interesting part is I don't really blame KTM, I blame the CARB for mandating the fuel recovery nozzles on the gas pumps even though the EPA phased them out years ago because 1: they largely don't work and 2: 70% of cars have their own vapor recovery systems.  The larger nozzles push on the filler caps and they will break over time.

So I may try to get my hands on a set of these from KTMTwins:
