I doubt it, they have been unable to supply as I have been waiting since Sept for a new one. I am not sure if mine has ever locked as it always opened when I wanted it to, it seems that it will open when anyone wants it to, bottom line is that I am used to the convenience now and am not sure I want a locked cap at all. I agree with the earlier comment re someone stealing the fuel not being a real issue, the only negative could be someone putting something in the tank but with every tank filler locking these days who would go around trying bikes to find one with a defective lock?
Mines worked flawlessly since the day I fitted it (famous last words) And I love it, no faffing looking for a key anymore!

Just had a fun afternoon taking the bodywork and fuel cap off my 2012 Pikes Peak after the keyless cap refused to open. We tried disconnecting and reconnecting the 2 pin connector but that had no effect. Had 4.9v at the connector when the ignition was switched but the Solenoid that releases the locking pin was refusing to activate. Solenoid worked fine when we put 12v across it, so it seems as though the feed to the solenoid wasn't of sufficiently high voltage to activate it, possibly a fault with one of the ECUs with a price tag of hundreds of pounds to replace! Turns out that you can remove the solenoid from the fuel cap and have a functioning but unlockable fuel cap for no money, so went that way instead...attached photographs show the solenoid removed, the unit separated to show the solenoid, and the resulting appearance of the filler cap with locking mechanism removed. All done by Glen of Moto-V in Colchester, the man is an absolute star, strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to trust the person they are handing their pride and joy to!
No: it doesn't need dealer configuring Yes: the plug is usually buried under the front of the tank (unless you're extremely fortunate) And I'll have one for sale soon if anyone needs one...
Quick update, the 4.9v feed to the filler cap solenoid was the correct voltage, just the solenoid itself on the blink with an intermittent fault. Sticking with the 'closed but not locked' approach and leaving the solenoid in the bin. Actually filled up with zero stress yesterday
Can't see the point of a locking fuel cap anyway, but to have a key locking cap with a keyless ignition is just daft in my opinion. You have to fumble about looking for a key which you've placed somewhere safe on your person because you don't need it to start the bike ? Glad your now unstressed @Streaky
