DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered to Italian racing standards, the LighTech TFN229 screw fuel cap is a direct, certified upgrade for every Aprilia RSV4 and RSV4 1100 variant from 2009 through to 2026. CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium and assembled with a precision seal and dedicated fasteners, it ships ready to fit — no specialist tools, no compromise on safety or sealing integrity.
Key Features
- 100% Made in Italy — designed and manufactured to the exacting tolerances of Italian motorsport engineering.
- CNC-machined aluminium construction delivers a dramatic weight saving over the OEM cap while retaining full structural integrity.
- Screw-closure system provides a fast, intuitive and secure seal, reducing the risk of accidental opening on track or road.
- Anodised black outer cap paired with a coloured inner ring — a visually striking detail that elevates the cockpit aesthetic without sacrificing function.
- Supplied complete with seal and mounting bolts for an immediate, plug-and-play installation against the original cap.
- Full fitment coverage from the 2009 RSV4 through to the 2026 RSV4 1100 Factory, R, RR and RF — one part number covers the entire lineage.
Precision Construction and Track-Proven Safety
Where the standard fuel cap prioritises economy of manufacture, the LighTech TFN229 is built around the demands of high-performance riding. The body is CNC-milled from solid aluminium billet, giving it a consistency of form that cast or stamped parts simply cannot match. Every thread, every mating surface and the integrated seal seat is machined to tight tolerances, so the cap seals reliably under the vibration loads and temperature cycles that a high-revving V4 generates on a long track session or a spirited road ride.
The anodised finish is not merely cosmetic — anodising hardens the surface layer of the aluminium, improving scratch and corrosion resistance so the cap retains its appearance through repeated removal and refitting. The coloured inner ring adds a distinctive Italian flair that complements aftermarket bodywork or coordinates with other LighTech accessories on the bike.
Installation
The TFN229 is a true plug-and-play replacement. LighTech includes all necessary hardware — seal and fasteners — in the box, and the screw-closure design requires no special tools. Simply remove the original cap, fit the TFN229 and torque the fasteners to specification. The entire swap can be completed in minutes in a paddock environment.
