Can you remove the whole cap? If so take it off the ask a Locksmith if they can re-key the barrel.

If you can't remove the cap then you'll need a locksmith to pick it for you as well.

Another option is to get another key cut from the one you have and then artificially wear it down using sandpaper. You may get lucky and the worn key will unlock the cap for you.

There is sometimes a key number on the barrel for making a new key.

When you have a new key it might pay to put a clip on the key ring, I clip it to a throttle cable or something on older bikes as they tend to spit keys out.

Took my tank off, took it to "Auckland Locksmiths" on great north road, new lynn. they guy picked the lock, took it apart, made 2 keys, put it all together in 30 mins

Cheap as 2 (mates rates) but usually cheap anyways
