Fuel Tank Cap Quick Release Lightech TRN229NER Aprilia RSV4 Tuono V4 RSV 1000

Fuel Tank Cap Quick Release Lightech TRN229NER Aprilia RSV4 Tuono V4 RSV 1000

Description

The Lightech fuel tank cap TRN229NER is a quick release racing fuel tank cap designed specifically for Aprilia RSV4, Tuono V4 and RSV 1000 models. Machined from solid aluminium and anodized in black (outer ring and inner insert), this quick release fuel cap replaces the heavy OEM cap and uses the Lightech Push & Pull locking system for fast opening and secure closing.

Compared to the stock component, the TRN229NER fuel tank cap is significantly lighter, helping to reduce weight on the top of the bike while giving a clean full-black racing look to the tank area. It is supplied as a plug and play kit, ready to mount with the dedicated screws and sealing gasket included in the package.

Advantages

• Racing quick release system: the Lightech Push & Pull closure allows very fast refuelling during track days and races while remaining practical for everyday road use.
• Weight reduction vs OEM: CNC machined aluminium construction offers up to around 70% less weight than the original tank cap, improving mass centralisation at the top of the bike.
• High quality materials: billet aluminium body, hard anodized for durability and resistance to fuel and weather exposure.
• Sporty design: black outer ring with black centre insert TRN229NER for a stealth racing look on RSV4 and Tuono V4 models.
• Direct fit for Aprilia sport models: specific flange pattern to bolt directly on the original Aprilia tank without modifications.

FAQ

Is TRN229NER specific for Aprilia or universal?
The TRN229NER fuel tank cap uses a flange pattern developed for Aprilia sports models. It is listed by multiple specialists as fitting RSV 1000 2004-2008, RSV4 from 2009 onwards and Tuono V4 2011 onwards, and is not a universal cap.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

What is the difference between TRN229NER and TRN229ROS?
Both share the same billet aluminium body and quick release Push & Pull mechanism. The code TRN229NER identifies the full black version, while TRN229ROS is the variant with a coloured/red centre insert.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Does the kit include screws and gasket?
Yes. Lightech supplies the TRN229NER fuel tank cap complete with the specific fixing screws and sealing gasket required to mount it on the original tank flange of the compatible Aprilia models.:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Do I need to modify the fuel tank to install this cap?
No modifications are required. On the compatible Aprilia models listed above, the TRN229NER cap is a direct replacement for the standard fuel cap: you remove the OEM assembly and install the Lightech cap using the supplied hardware.:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Is the quick release system safe for road use?
The Push & Pull mechanism has been developed for racing but is widely used on road bikes as well. When correctly installed and fully closed, the cap ensures proper sealing of the tank. As with any racing-style component, the rider should always check that the cap is fully locked after refuelling.
