Re: drill out gas cap in tank
I wouldn't drill out the gas tank, metal shavings going in there are never good. Can't you just take a big screwdriver, hammber it into there and twist till you break the little pins?
Re: drill out gas cap in tank
I bought a tank off ebay that still had the cap on it, tried drilling it out but didn't work, i drilled the **** out of it tried taking a screwdriver in and poping the lock but couldn't get enough leverage on the screwdriver to really twist it hard. I ended up just taking the hex bolts off the outer ring and it pryed out really easy with the screwdriver and didn't damage anything.
Re: drill out gas cap in tank
ok heres how ya do it
step 1. get a nice size flat head screw driver, stick it in the key hole.
step 2. take a hammer, hit the top of the screw driver ( now dont go beating it to death cause u dont have to hit it that hard.
step 3. once the screw driver is wedged in there good enough, use channel locks on the handle of the screw driver to turn it and bust the pins.
works every time

yup or you can make you a tool like the pioneers of bike theivery use, and take a good sized flathead screwdriver and put it in a vice, then bend the end like one inch, to 90 degrees, then follow GSE nicks steps, but minus the vice grips

You can drill them and its the eazist way to go. First take a grinder and grind the lip down that holds the lock cylinder in, make it flush. Then take a drill and drill out the front and back of the lock cylinder, hold the drill at different angles till you go threw the lock cylinder. As soon as the set has broken you just pull it out will a pair of needle nose's. You will see a slit in the hole turn that with a screw driver and you are done. Only way you are going to get metal in the tank is if you are a total idiot. The lock cylinder is a softer metal and you will be able to telll when you go threw all of it. Its really simple and only take a few min's. Now if you have a gsxr 00-03 style, you can just take the allen's out and brake that ring, then take a screw driver and pry the gas cap off. Just my 4 cents
