 Missing Gas cap replacement
Ok, I am totally convinced there are a lot of *******s out there. I stop to get gas, fill it up, replace the gas cap (I'm positive of this because I always check), pull the bike up to the store to get a few things and when i get back to my bike I smell the gas fumes. I open up the seat and the cap is gone! Some *******, while i was in the store pulled up my seat and stole the damn gas cap WTF?
But anyway is there any kind of replacement that i can get? Are they all universal? I know there was a recall due to leaking fumes but the cap cant be proprietary, there has to be other caps that will fit this. Please help before I catch fire! lol thanks.

It does lock but you can still pull up on the corner of the seat far enough to pull the cap off. I noticed that whoever the a$$hole was that stole it kinda bent the seat up a bit. Not really noticeable when the seat is down or up but if you pull up on it you can see how it was previously bent a bit to get to the cap.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have a 2013 rs so it doesn't have the fancy seat that the st or the rt have.

Stant makes a cap that fits. I have one on mine now to see if it seems tighter than OEM replacement which seems to me not to tighten well enuf. Any auto store, junk yard, etc will have them; they're pretty much universal I think. At least it will provide you with a temporary cap.
