.... do you know what a new set of locks and HISS system for a 1000RR is worth?

id say it would be much the same with a ZX6R

push the fugger out into the middle of the yard, put ya helmet & leathers on & strike up the oxy set......this method is guaranteed to get the bastard open quick as a flash.....or is that get the bastard open with a big flash

......maybe stick with the hammer & screwdriver

I have the perfect can opener, Homer Simpson style

, One shot will remove the lock, might need to patch up the big hole in the bottom of the tank though.

This model of the ZX6R doesnt have electronic protection...

As for removing the whole fuel cap assembly, that doesnt work if the cap is still locked, because you cant removie it while it is closed (happened to my on my honda)...

Drilling it out may cause problems because you wouldnt be able to close it any more...

On the good side, if you drill it out, you can remove the whole thing and replace it with one from the wreckers (with a key too)...

DO NOT use an angle grinder.

why not just knock (not drill) a small hole in the top of the tank so you can put petrol in it till you work out what you wanna do with the lock... put a cork in it to seal it
