	I havne't talked to the dealer about this, but I thought I would see if anyone else had some info. I got fuel and my gas cap wouldn't go on right, and then I added oil and the oil cap won't go on now. Thank god for duct tape and some rags. Anyone else have the same problem?

	Yes. You are right, they suck. I sealed my oil cap with electrical tape on my 2005 600. If you get a replacement, it's the same cap. What to do. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	It seems like the rubber gaskets in those caps get all out of shape. If you fiddle around with the rubber seals, you might get it to work better. 2001 RMK 800 151" 1990 Indy 400 (Slightly modded with welded tunnel cracks and various used Indy parts from models throughout the 90's) 2006 Stihl Chainsaw 1980's Vintage Lawnboy Lawnmower (3 in collection) 2005 Husqvarna Weed Whacker (It sucks to rewind the string, but that 31cc motor sure is torquey!) 2000 Polaris XCSP Edge 600 (1.5" Track, 22 40 gearing) Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
