    No key ,like new cars . You have 1 minute to open gas tank after turning off. I was center of attraction at sunday meet .Couldn't open tank .Dozens of people with videos ,the hand book ,salesman on phone to no avail . Handbook says to unscrew gas cap ,in emergency . Can't access tool kit without tool to remove torx screw holding down rear section .Borrowed 1 .Now on day off to go sit at dealership for them to fix . Fantastic bike but this happens .Was very embarrasing at meet . Mark

    Little flap like you see that covers key hole ,maybe I pulled on it whan it wasn;t set to open ,even though I followed handbook instructions . They have to order it . I already ordered Racing quick release cap .I will never trust it.
