If you want a better fix, but that requires some attention. You can unscrew the mechanism underneath the fuel cap "The two Philips screws" Then you can undo the locking cylinder and remove the shims that don't match your current key. Or re-arrange them to make more match. They have to be flush with the surface when they key is inserted all the way. :)
I have done so on a number of occasions, for instance to make one key open both saddlebags and top case, or on a car that needed a new door lock that I wanted to operate with the ignition key, etc.
LoL Fun Fact- 90% of motorcycle locking caps are NOT 'keyed'... Takes a key to open, but ANY key that fits will do it. Honda, in particular has been this way since the late 70's..
