Gas cap sticks........

[Have2BeFree]

Ok, after reading all the posts about keys here, I have to ask this question (and I feel pretty stupid but....) Does anyone else have a problem getting their gas cap off? It seems to seal with a suction and I've been having a problem getting it off to put gas in. I don't want to bend the key (been there done that). I have tried pushing down on the cap while turning the key to no avail. Any suggestions?

check to make sure the breather line is not clogged or pinched.

Make sure you check BOTH breather lines.

yep check the lines should pop right up

Thank you - since I am not mechanically inclined I will pass this info along to a friend and see if he can help.

You should see the lines hanging straight down from under your bike, right in the middle. Just make sure they're not blocked, kinked, or otherwise damaged. An easy check to do. That's the most likely cause for what you're seeing.
