All of us have had problems. I find I need to keep my gloves on to spin it off.... I can't do it with my bare hands. I would say that I am a girl, so that is my excuse, but according to this forum it has been a problem. Lots of others on this forum have bought aftermarket gas caps.

No yank thing,Maccaoz: I have the same problem in Belgium,Europe.Won't risk a Monza cap:need a tankbag during holidays and since the monza type cap on a BSA B40 I once had used to flip open under a tankbag...My private parts are desinfected for life since then

cheers, g.p.
