Are you pushing the cap down when turning the key?

If you got the bike from a dealer, I would take it back to them or get them out to sort it.

Load the key hole up with wd40 or gt85, take it to a garage and ask them to get the air hose on it to clean out the sh*t, then try.

Its worked for me before with my seat lock!

Hammering a screw driver into the lock will break it and mean you can open it. Of course you'll then need a new cap.

You want to tell people how you did it, giving them something to search on and save someone asking the same question again?

The petrol caps on the cougar are a right bastard to open even with the right key.

No need to buy a new one, just hang a scewdriver on your keychain to be used as a key whenever you fill up.

Problem solved Laughing
