Superglue in lock

[JayJay]

My oldest son decided to 'help' fix my motorcycle one early Saturday morning and poured the contents of a tube of superglue into my tank lock.

Unfortunately I did not know about this until I went to fill the tank on the way home. On reserve I doubt that I would have made the 30+kms so I called the one guy that could help....

Wolfman your a legend!

I rocked up at his place and soon Wolfman and Mikey had a plan to get fuel into the tank. Within minutes the tank was off, upside down and we were pouring fuel into the tank.

Thanks again guys I cant say that enough!

Anyway my solution to the glue.

I called a locksmith who mentioned soaking the lock and possibly drilling! Did not like the sound of that at all.

After some googling I found that Nitro Methane was superglue's enemy and Spook got me a litre of it from Model Flight on goodwood road.

After he used a teaspoon to apply it to the lock and some working it through the lock was fixed and it now opens.

I can not believe the mates I have atm I must have done something right in a previous life. :BLAA:

One of my friends ran his moped on nitro he did quite a few miles on it but inevitably it melted the piston. So I wouldn't recommend it unless you want a true challenge.

funny thing is I would not have been able to find it if I tried. All of that stuff is now under lock and key in a cupboard not just hidden in the tool chest in the shed.

Wouldn't the entire cap assembly just unbolt off the gas tank with 3 or 6 bolts?

I know that's not the case on my bike, but wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the lock?

Not on the FZ6. There is an extra bolt under the lock cap.

I changed it out about 2 years ago when I replaced the gas tank, but yep, your correct, one bolt underneath, accessable only after the gas cap is opened...

Man I thought my kids were trouble. Hard to be upset b/c he just wanted to help out tho. BTW looks the the "goodwood" belongs to your avatar! Ha!

Just superglue his hands together, there is nothing like an object lesson to teach people right from wrong!
Good to hear its fixed tho!

Mike has hidden the superglue from me for years.

If I buy some, he finds it. He hides it

Don't know why

Can't have anything to do with the time I got superglue all over the freezer lid then glued my fingers together, can it?.......
