Locking Oil Cap

JokerSeven · February 14th, 2010, 07:43 AM

I have always wanted a locking oil cap. I think it is far too easy for some evil soul to open it up and pour something in.

So far the only ones I have seen are made by Sato Racing.

$38 for the cap and $20 for the key. Ouch !

Has anyone seen a more cost friendly alternative ?

Nobody is going to pour stuffs in your engine...I'd be more worry about they're taking the whole bike.

I'm sorry, I have seen it happen twice. Once with sand and once with rice. Although the rice was kinda funny.

That only happens to people with mufflers like this:

LOL, ya I saw where that thing was 105db. Thats insane !

well then I should be safe since I'm running a stock muffler.

Solution in search of a problem. Heck, it'll probably make your bike go faster, too, but only because your wallet is lighter.

That cap won't keep anyone from opening it up and dumping something in, all they would need is visegrips. A motion detecting alarm would be your best bet.

I can't see how this locks? A simple hex key could open this cap?

A trip wire to a claymore, disguised as safety wire! bwahahahaha!

rockNroll · February 18th, 2010, 07:40 AM

.... or perhaps install an alarm on your bike?

I think you would be pretty safe with the cap that opens with an Allen Wrench. How many people carry a set of allens? If you make it difficult for a vandal, he will probably move to an easier mark.

jonthechron · February 18th, 2010, 07:29 PM

I always have my tool kit in my car and my bike also has one in its tool kit. I think if someone has a plan to vandalize your bike, you are his main target, and will try and sabotage you, personally.

I do

Momaru · February 19th, 2010, 10:57 AM

As do I, but point taken

JokerSeven · February 19th, 2010, 01:18 PM

Well I'm certainly not on anyone's hit list.
It seems though we have some punks vandalizing bikes in a popular area of town. I has happened twice. I was just trying to take precautions.

Sailariel · February 19th, 2010, 04:12 PM

I carry a set of Allens as well in my tool kit. I would doubt that some kid looking to get his jollies would carry Allens---unless he is also a motorcyclist hell bent on giving you grief.

It doesn't lock, but at least it requires tools:

No "special key" that I can see.

Might want to make sure you can open it with your under-seat tool kit and add a tool if necessary!

But John, the point is it requires a tool and can't be taken off by hand.

Exactly. With tools, they can pierce your tires, yank an axel, unscrew and unbolt any number of parts, cut your brake lines, etc. It's just an extra measure that could force a would-be vandal to come a little more prepared than they likely were.

If they got sand off the ground it means that they weren't carrying much. Also, there's a big difference between carrying a conspicuous toolbox vs. a small bag of rice and it would only hold them back when they attempt to run (if caught in the act) and make it easier to ID them. "OK. Which one of you guys is responsible for this? It couldn't be you, there, with the toolbox... could it?"

Rizoma Oil Cap in silver would be swag.... It does fit the ninjette?
