From http://gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=116000#116000 :

Quote from: gobstopperThe GS500's cap base appears to have 8 screws, but 4 are false.  The false ones are at 12, 3, 6, and 9-o'clock as you're sitting on the bike.  Use a 4 mm allen wrench to pull them out.  You must unlock the cap before trying to remove it.

...and...

Quote from: Argon5WAll of the Suzuki sport bike fuel caps are the same for 2000 back to the late 80's.  I haven't messed with a newer bike.

I have had two different years of SV, three GSXRs, and  4 GS500s.  They all used the same fuel cap. The only differences were the colors.  Most of them have silver outer rings with black centers.

Sounds like you could try almost any Suzi sportbike cap (non-cruiser), and have a good chace of working.  If the bike name begins with GS, SV, TL or DL, the cap is probably compatible.
You cannot escape our master plan!

Conan, if you feel like doing some on-line research RON AYERS has Suzuki part numbers.  Click on the "online microfiche" pull down menu.  You can check the various models for gas cap part numbers.

Bringing up an older post, I was looking on the microfiche for a gas cap in the following URL
http://www.ronayers.com/fiche/300_0027/fuel_tank_1992-1993/fuel_tank_1992-1993.cfm?man=su&groupid=3120&parent=3070

I am confused by what part to order, do I order 7-1 or 7-2 and what is the difference?  Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

7-2 is Calif. only.  All others use 7-1. :cheers:
