Cool.   I'd like to hear about your results.
I used short bursts of flame from a propane torch into the inner cap well.
Gradually pushed the socket in; the process took about 20 minutes.

I apparently don't have enough patience or a small enough torch.  I could only get a very small amount of expansion before it started to distort the threads. Possibly mine was shrunk smaller.  I was able to apply a little flexible gasket compound to the threads to finish the seal but, I am not sure I am happy with that solution. I will probably go with the replacment cap.  It won't be the first non-stock part on my bike.

Hi
I have a cap thats shrunk and rattles about in te hole. This happened when i forgot to pit rhe cap back on the tank and the bike stood for 10 weeks, then it would not fit when i discovered the cap was not on.
is it possible to soak the cap in a chemical to swell it back to size? 
I cannot see the link to the chinese cap mentioned, anyone have this please as i would like to look at it
thanks
Gary

Spoke too soon, they are out of stock and so are Fowlers.
Maybe, try your local Yamaha dealer.
