I am in need of a new oil cap. My current one leaks when the engine heats up.  Is there a specific part number for the oil cap or is it a generic piece?

get the one KKM sells... looks 100 times better than the stock one.

Maybe I'll upgrade to a new one and paint it yellow with some Japanese symbols. Yeah, 10-sec. club, here I come! Oh yeah, and ZXTuner.com has a nifty Esslinger cap for $24, comes in blue or polished aluminium.

Pick up one of those 710 caps, they may be cheaper than the oil caps http://webhome.idirect.com/~avriljohn/blondes2.html#710 TB
