If you lift the flap up as you close the cap, you again withdraw the tab into the cap and avoid having to hammer the cap so hard to get the extended tab back under the cap ring retaining part.
Works for me.

There are a few sold on eBay a few people from the K1600 forum got them for thier bikes. Maybe they have similar for the RT, worth a search.My fuel cap isn't the keyless type but the hinge section of it recently broke - so now I'm wondering whether the whole assembly could be replaced by one of those "CNC billet" threaded caps. I've seen them offered for the S1000RR models but not for the GSW. Anyone know of a simple cap suitable as a replacement for the locking cap?
Why is it so complicated to close a simple gas cap. Sheesh! Techno whizbang run amok no doubt.
If it really is keyless, why do I need to carry a transmitting fob?

Because we don't have ID chips embedded in our butts?
Yet.
Can someone confirm...
If I ordered my new R1200 GS Adventure without the keyless feature, I hope that means I have a normal everyday gas cap that uses a key.
Unfortunately, I could not order it without ABS as I did both my R1150 GS Adventures.
Yes, you use the ignition key to open the gas cap.
I'm hoping this old thread will help me. I'm trying to retrieve a 2016 R100RT with keyless ignition. I have the fob. The fuel light is on. How do I get the fuel cap open to put fuel in? Trying to get the bike to put up for sale for an estate.
I can start it and open all the luggage. Not exactly like my airheads!
I am already humiliated ! I'm sure the answer is simple. Just not as simple as me.
Turn on bike, turn off bike, lift fuel cap tab cap will follow.
