I have been loving my 2003 Aprilia Atlantic (so much that I'm upgrading to a new Piaggio MP3 530), but have found the fuel cap to be somewhat annoying to open. Even when I try not to overtighten the cap, my hand (gloved and ungloved) tends to slip on the plastic. I was excited when I stumbled on this 3D-printed tool that slides over the cap and adds tabs that make it easier to grab: https://www.printables.com/model/146141-llave-tapon-gasolina-piaggio-mp3. Couldn't find any mentions of it on this forum, so figured I'd share.

If you don't have a 3D printer, ask a friend or check your local library for help printing

I just applied the URL tag rather than allowing the pasted URL to automatically create the hyperlink. Should work now.
