Fuel Cap Replacement
« on: July 21, 2005, 06:16:43 AM »
I need help finding a Fuel Cap replacement for my 1989 KX500. Mine cracked somehow and I cant really ride until I replace it. Anyone know where I can get one? I noticed that RockyMountainATV.com has some but they dont have one for the KX500. Would any other models fit for it?

Thanks in advance

If your dealer doesnt have one a '90s Honda CR will fit from what I hear,or maybe the ones from Clarke manufacturing or try www.bikebandit.com

hughes, thanks for the PM. I will run outside, check, and try all the gas caps. :-) I am almost 100% positive that the 250's will fit it. Infact, I've used the gas cap off my YZ too. I will let you guys know sorry to make you'll wait.

My 99 KX125 cap fits my 89 500. I also have a KX250 tank. Looks like all caps are compatible...

The alloy jobies look the bizo and there probably less expensive than an original. Plus you'll never have the splitting problem again.

Thanks for the response guys. I guess I should go ahead and order the Tusk cap for the KX250.
