muaymendez1 Posted April 18, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 18, 2014 I just find it funny that bike manufacturers give you a locking gas cap . Like what gas thief would really siphon fuel when he can just disconnect the fuel line to petcock abd hood the hose in a gas can. One further. Why would they choose a bike with a capacity of 5gollons and not a work van that can possibly be have 25 gallons. Just saying, If I saw someone trying to take fuel from my bike. I would probably laugh first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muaymendez1 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted April 18, 2014 Hmmm. Didn't think of it. I guess water, brake fluid, or anything foreign for that matter. So it's not anti theft, more if a safety device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peder_y2k Posted April 18, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2014 Keep the bad nasty fumes from escaping? Without a lock, those fumes could undo the cap and dissappear. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncledj Posted April 18, 2014 Share #6 Posted April 18, 2014 or turning your bike into a 2-wheel Molotov cocktail... Hey....in the movie Wild Hogs, John Travolta cut the gas lines on all the bikes and it had the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
