Oil Cap bad times

[Maloverde]

I tightened the oil cap too tight and it broke the top. I believe it is the oil level sensor as it is connected to electrical lines. Anyone know the true name and if I can order a new one?<br /><br />The below link is the cap I am reffering too.<br /><br /> http://bigbikeriders.com/photopost/data/4464/4976Oilcap-med.jpg <br /><br />Thanks in advance.

Oil tank cap (36-43300A9?). That's a Dealer item. That tank has to be full to overflowing. It's a low oil sensor on the cap.

Thanks for the part #. I can't believe it's going to cost $45 to replace. I used Gorilla Glue to glue the two pieces back together and it worked. A short term solution until I order another cap.

Do not try to repair, because the Oil tank works with high air pressure, so it´s better to buy new one.<br /><br />Chao<br /><br />Carlos<br />Venezuela
