GAS CAP PROBLEM

gas caps

The only problem I have noticed is that I often have to fill the tank REALLY SLOWLY because otherwise the pump keeps shutting off. I was thinking about removing the metal arround the filler neck so air can escape when filling the tank. I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem.

I have run into this. I used to put the fuel nozzle into the RS tank at more of an angle so less of the filler pipe was in the tank. Then I would eyeball it and squeeze in a little more to top it off.

just got call from my dealer on bringing bike in for heat panel warranty, they are saying brp didn't send out
the new part to them yet & now brp wants me to email them inside of my gas cap to verify i have the bad one.
i have no problem with this but why on mon. did i get the ok from brp.
P.S. the first guy i called today was an a-hole, he couldn't find my name when i gave him the vin & was not
at all helpful, i hung up, called back then the next guy spent time with me.

Ok i installed battery sunday, took a few times & got bike started. now the fact that it didn't start right up makes me wonder
if the fact the low gas light was on. Yes it ran low on gas because i could not get cap off from a day of riding the previous
sunday. I replaced the gas cap with a stent cap that i got from auto barn for $3.50 recommended by taxmyzer when he had
the same problem with his cap on the 2013 rt-s.
Well after i got gas i used it all day for errands so i did start & stop a few times with no problem at all. I will finally be able to
install my doc hitch rack to my bike this week & my 3rd/4th brake lights.

I also checked into something called a micro start battery supply, it's this tiny little battery pack, 14oz. size of a smart phone
thing that can jump start a 6 cylinder car with a dead battery. since i plan on traveling a little this year i am going to get it
& keep in the pouch of my frunk, don't ever want to have a battery problem again. it's also has plugs on it to charge smart
phone, laptop and other stuff.

Thanks all to those on the forum for their help & sincere concern for getting my bike running, you guys are the best.
On a side note, thank you brp for the crummy gas cap, you know the one with the orange/red gasket on the inside & thank
you for still delaying my dealer in getting the heat shield we talked to you about last week while on 3 way that you were no
help with. I did let you know i am going on vacation for july 4th weekend and would like it installed before then and my dealer
has doubts he will have it in time.
