    I think they were the same until 04-05 and they fit better than that leaky Husky cap.

    Interested in a new cap myself. Have an '08 TE. Anyone know if the drz/klx cap will fit my tank. Also, what year or drz/klx cap to get. Thanks.

    If you have the gun site cap, just get the Acerbis large cap, it is around 14.00 The other bikes above are using the Acerbis small cap.

    Mine is right off the 03 klx - drz, Suzuki still makes the drz but Kawasaki now has a new klx 140.

    That is what I was looking for. Rocky Mountain has the TUSK aluminum gas caps for $30. If it fits/works like stock then aluminum is the way I would go.

    What does "gun site cap" means? how you determine that?

    I have an '08 (non gun sight cap) and ordered a small billet Acerbis cap and it is the wrong one/to small. I sent it back and ordered the large billet Acerbis cap and it is the correct one. The parts pics actually show the difference in the size. :doh:

    I replaced my cap because I dropped my tank removing it from the bike. It fell upside down and broke the vent nipple off. I successfully super glued the nipple back on but was afraid of it giving away on a ride. The billet cap doesn't snug up to secure the '08 removable ball ramp so I just removed it. No big deal imo.

    Just Gas Tanks. com/The Enduro Shop. com has them or you can save a couple of $ and find the JGT ebay page like I did.

    Yes, they are made from billet aluminum. Gives the bike a bit more bling then the a black cap, imo.

    I got a large Acerbis cap here that's "carbon look" and @ $13: http://www.motosport.com/acerbis-gas-cap
    Came with a purple vent hose :rolleyes: Fits well, haven't tested it for leeks yet. When my stocker leaked I took it apart, cleaned with Armor All, let it set for a couple of hours, reinstall and it hasn't leaked since. I got this one as a spare on a whim :cheers:
