Kawasaki Vulcan Inspection Plug Tool K56019-063  (K56019-063 INSPECTION SCREW TOOL)

Works great on the 2008. Does not mar the inspection plug.

Soo, how do you torque the filler cap with that?

By feel with an practiced hand. When I used it, bottomed threads then about 1/16 turn.

I made a tool by getting a washer with correct thickness (Lowes), then ground the washer to just fit the opening.
To acquire the torque necessary to loosen, I inserted a large screw driver into the hole and bingo it worked.
Initially tho the cap was so tight that it bent a very large metal washer.  This tool can be easily carried and very inexpensive.
