Broken Oil Fill Cap

[coastie]

So today I changed my oil, and as I went to put the fill cap back in place I dropped it. Well I watched a piece of it fly off. Then I remember Jaxon telling me that those two pieces of plastic on the side could very easily be broken by just dropping the bike. So I'm just making you all aware. I just dropped that cap 12" or so and it chipped the side off. I will be calling Jaxon tomorrow and placing an order for his billet pieces.

Pinch one of an R1 and smile as the smear of oil builds on the pristine leathers.

Jaxon has the other plug for the crankshaft access too, doesn't he?

same thing just happened to mine - but it wasn't me that dropped it. Mechanic that was "helping" me change the oil. People in South America are sometimes TOO helpful!
