Anyone else have problems with their vortex race cap? Mine's freaken leakin' like a siv, getting gas all over my ****.

 

Vortex gascap solved all my leaking problems.

I heard from other people if you use that rubber cement stuff you can fix it.

 

Just use the rubber cement as a seal?

 

I've not had any probs with mine. It actually holds a lot of pressure in, when I go to fill it up the top pretty much explodes off with all the pressure behind it. Sorry I can't be more help

 

yeah the probem with them is the seal, and the fact that the lid doesn't line up right, the vortex is crooked and bugs the **** out of me

 

That's the issue I have, but never have had any leaks.

 

Yea, I don't know. I guess I'll have to find a stock one again. Anytime I'm up at 12 or when I'm doing stoppies it always pours out. What a pain in the ***. Good way to burn about $70.

 

i bought one it leaks all over my ***** ,and burns. im going to try the cement puddy ,as for the lid not screwing on right all the bolts have to be tightened equally, the aluminum base will twist and the lid wont screw on right and leak .so just tighten all bolts equally till the cap screws on all the way ,hope i helped.

 

my friend did a highchair stoppie and had gas go right up his ***, he said it burned like crazy. Oh yeah he also had a vortex cap.

 

tony when u said the gas when right up his ***, lets replace "gas" with "your hand" and "highchair stoppie" with "me and him on friday night"

 

gas *** syndrome hurts....my pants were soaked in it all the time before i got a new cap.

 

YEAS, i just got a vortex top clamp they must have bad quality control cuz it fit like pooop

 

vortex says u have to lubricate o ring on lid and threads often..the o ring damages easily if not done this way. vasiline or equal

 

I have one on my 750 and it solved leaking problems I had. Thing is, is it leaking from the cap or from the base?

Could be leaking from the base so check everything and get a gasket seal to cover any open areas. You can do the same on the cap, just spread it extremely thin and let fully dry before putting back on.

haha...i had gas *** before i got my vortex on my G1K

 

my buddy just bought a Vortex cap for his R6 and it leaked like crazy. The tank is all messed up anyway so we got ghetto and JB welded all around the outside of the cap. It doesnt leak any more but it looks like crap.
