Default 1984 Nighthawk S Gas Cap

Bike has been stored for 8 years and now am selling. Gas cap will not open with key? Any ideas how I will be able to open it?

You can try pick and L to pick the lock.
Or If you don't care about the cap, you can use a drill to drill out the tumblers.


Shock??
Mostly spray lube (lots of) and working the key in lock
That should free the mechanism.


That is another method which is very lengthy

You might try graphite before drilling it out.
