Either MSCuddy or Sarnali (Both Forum Mods) had a Thruxton, they should be able to help you out. I don't think either are online, currently.
Have you tried cursing at it and maybe throwing something in anger? |

Frequently "factory fresh" bikes have gas caps that become slightly siezed due to the new plastic and recently pressed metal. Get a propane torch. Gently warm the gas cap with the torch, using a circular motion. At some point the gas cap is sure to come off the tank.
Or. call the dealer in the morning.

You gotta be more careful.

Martimus! Ken is joking. DO NOT take a gas torch anywhere near your gas tank. Trust me on this.

Grip gas cap tightly. Hold bike over Grand Canyon. Let gravity do the rest!

Put the pan on the stove and apply heat. Add sliced potatos and cook until golden brown. Eat the fried potatos and consume beer until the dealership opens.

Take the bike to your local Kaiser Permanente hospital, and let the sadists in the post-op ward work on it. If it can't be done with a tube of surgi-lube, and a No.16 Foley catheder, they'll send it to Tagalog hell, where the nurses will ignore it, and eventually misplace the bike somewhere between the enema room, and x-ray.
