DescriptionThe whole story▼

Racing fuel caps that open with a tool are a familiar sight in superbike paddocks, and the Gilles FCAP-08-B brings that idea to the GSX-R 1000. It is two-part, CNC-milled and two-colour anodised, and, according to Gilles, light, tightly sealing and robust.

Key Features

  • Opened and closed with the FCAP-TOOL-01-B, sold separately
  • Low weight
  • Designed with experience from MotoGP and WorldSBK, according to Gilles
  • CNC-milled, two-colour anodised
  • Robust two-part construction
  • No registration required, according to Gilles

WVCY and WDM0

Listed from 2012 to 2025, including the R versions of 2017 onwards. The FCAP-TOOL-01-B is sold separately.

Road Approval

For the Suzuki GSX-R 1000, Gilles states that the FCAP does not require any approval, so there is no certificate to carry.

Scope of Delivery

One Gilles FCAP-08-B fuel cap for this model, black with a titanium-coloured centre as pictured. The FCAP-TOOL-01-B needed to open and close it is sold separately; one tool serves every Gilles FCAP cap, so a second cap on another bike needs no second tool. Keep the original cap and its lock in case the bike goes back to standard.

Fitting

Remove the original cap, clean the sealing surface on the tank and fit the FCAP according to the Gilles instructions, tightening the screws evenly. Work with a low fuel level and keep the opening covered while it is exposed. Then test opening and closing with the tool several times before the first refuel, and check the cap again after the first full tank.
