They repop this part with a much more affordable price. Now the question is: do they work?? Anybody running one? :problem:

Surely the most useless item in the history of Tripledom! Does nothing for 60-70 miles, then drops to zero in 10 miles! :shock: No self-respecting triple owner would use one of them, back in the day! (J.M.H.O. and mostly joking!)

BTW have a 3 liters reserve (and not a 2 liters as genuine kawasaki) helps a lot. With 3 liters riding on the speed limit :banghead :e4 you can easily done 40 to 50 kilometers, generaly it's enough to find a petrol station 8-)

I found a box of these caps NOS in a local shop. Paid $5 ea. Thought they were cool. Guess so, I sold like 7 of them for an average of $275, one went for $325. Got some more for CB750s, they only sold for like $45

I always had the impression that my H2's reserve is about a gallon. Now I'll have to measure it. When I fill the tank shortly after hitting reserve, it seems to me I can't get more than about 3.5 US gallons in it, and it holds 4.5, according to the manual.
