I just stopped to fuel up and can't get the fuel door open on my 2011 Tri Glide. The key will NOT turn. Any suggestions???

We are suppose to leave out on a trip early in the morning.

 

Can't help much on that but maybe some compressed air and see if anything blows out? Never run across this one. That or unfortunately wait for the dealer to open in a.m. and delay your departure time. Good luck. Enjoy your trip.

 

Dealer is 2 1/2 hours away and I only have about a gallon of fuel in the tank.

 

Use a bigger hammer.

or

Call a locksmith.

 

After more than an hour, it finally opened. It will stay open until I get to the dealer.

 

Take that lock off and throw it away... get the push button.

 

+1 replace it with the push button. It's so much easier to deal with.

 

that happened to me on my '10 fltrx. luckily i was around the corner from the dealer. had 7 miles remaing on the low fuel reading. they ended up having to break the lock to get it to open. i had them replaced it with the push button. no problems so far.

 

Why is a push button so damn expensive? I'm gonna swap mine out one of these days. It's a pain having to unlock the thing.

 

Because it's chrome, and sold at a Harley dealer.,,
