View Full Version : Cannot get my oil cap off on the XVS
Hi all,
I cannot get the oil cap off on the xvs!
I have really tried but it wont budge!
Any ideas or help?
Thanks all x
Maybe try warming the bike up for a bit could help if its a metal type :)
I tried that lol, it just wont budge I might try pliers or something tomorrow! I got a bit nift with it so had to walk away lol....

Pics? Is it bolted on or twist type?
Its a twist...its a black cap with two humps like cammels...
I literally cannot get it off so I will try pliers once my fiance gets home in 5 x
mole grips might work but I'd suggest wrapping the cap in a rag first so that you don't mangle it
Put a flat blade screwdriver in between the two raised humps at an angle between them.
Then twist the right way.
Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
Try giving it a gentle tap first?
Its off! Thanks all! Their was no engine oil at all in their!!!
No wonder why I concked out in Bowerhill (got it started agian though)...
Crikey im suprised you got that far :o

You've been very lucky. Have you changed the filter as well ?
