Is there a 2014-15 Gas Cap Issue on some models?

[WEB-WVR]

I purchased both the 10835 and the 10819 and the pre-vent feature of the 10819 is clearly there versus the 10835. Both seem to seal and fit perfectly. I'll keep the 10819 on the bike as the pre-vent feature seems like the right thing to me. I purchased the Stant 10819 from Amazon while I got the other one from Pepboys. Both are available on Amazon as well.

Thank you PK for your explanation.

So maybe I should go with the 10819.....

I did look at both on Amazon and they say basically the same specs...no mention of the venting feature of the 10819.....but if you say it is vented....you think that one is better ? Thanks ! :thumbup:

The short answer is "I think so". But, I'm not an expert. They look slightly different and the lock/unlock works slightly different. You feel the release in the first 1/4 turn as you take it off. I don't feel it so much on the other one. Like I said, I left the 10819 one on the bike. Knowing what I know now, I would have just purchased the 10819.

Good luck in your decision making.

Your welcome.

As far as whether people run the oem cap or the 10819 or even the warranty cap does not bother me. We are going to continue with the vented 10819 Stant cap, if for no other reason than the failsafe of a second vent system.

I do keep the oem non warranty replacement cap in the frunk in case it is ever needed.

Service Bulletin out on 2014 RT gas caps??

There is a Service Bulletin out on 2014 RT gas caps.
Replaced under warranty.

Had mine done 1 month ago.

Does anyone know whether BRP have released a reference number for this Service Bulletin as I'm trying to ascertain if it has reached Australian dealers yet?

Thanks,
Gerard

Possible cause for failure.
I have 2014 RT and was going to add gas and noticed small pieces of plastic around the filler neck of gas tank. I always try to turn cap till I hear click. Here's 2 pictures of debris.

I purchase this cap in auto zone the cap fits good , but after riding the bike for bout and hour , I checked the cap to open and cap keeps clicking as i turn it to the left and did not want to open , I had to wait to the bike cools down for the cap to open .

Has this happen to any one . I do not even close the cap to tight . :banghead:
