The gas cap on my Thrux won't stay screwed down. I tighten it until it clicks but after a couple of miles its loose and rattling. It has only just started happening. Tightening more just gets extra clicks but no tighter.

Is this a common problem?

Is there a known fix?

Haven't heard that one. Might just be a bad cap? The usual problem is just the opposite... can't get the d*mn thing off!

Why? Too many H-D's.

Yeah, it used to be a pain to get off. Now it doesn't want to stay on. I would rather it went back to being tight!!

It probably has a broken ratchet mechanism. Try removing the retaining ring and see if the spring inside is intact. Somehow it must be letting the top rotate freely instead of ratcheting tight.

Why mess with it take it back.

Barry, I will check but I doubt the rachet is broken. Tightening the cap feels like it always has. It takes some pressure to get it click.

Stealth, I'm way outta warranty.
