Touratech locking oil filler cap key

[Tetley]

I’ve just bought a 1150 gsa with this locking filler gap. Is there a way to release it without the key? Or a long shot, but does anyone have the key as per the number in the photo that I can borrow to get it out.

Many thanks.

My experience based on many customers bikes over the years. Lever it out and throw it away.

Precisely why the “security” aspect is pretty pointless. . Heaven knows why anyone needs a locking oil filler cap is way beyond my comprehension

I didn't really want to cause an argument, but similarly, I couldn't get my head around the requirement. Even in the most deprived areas of the world, syphoning oil from a vehicle is going to be far easier from virtually any other type of engine.

I’m pretty ambivalent about locking filler caps, it was fitted to the bike when I bought it. I just needed to get it open. Anyway it came with this so I was happy to take a punt.
