There is a known issue with a number of petrol caps on the 1250. A good friend of mine had this on his brand new 1250 whilst in Germany.
He went to 1 dealer who stated it was a known issue but did not have a replacement in stock. They gave him a Torx tool to loosen bottom bolt (his would not open otherwise).
He visited a second dealer in the Black Forest and they changed it over straight away with one they had in stock. No issues since. I believe it is something to do with a sticky/faulty piston in the central locking mechanism.
Have a word with a dealer.
