ya, once it seats a little it'll turn for a little bit then you just gotta give it some force and screw it in till it matches up, then just push it in. You gotta screw it hard and push at the end!

Watch how you put it in....think the narrow tooth gap is at the top....one is narrow and one is wide. I have trouble getting mine out and in when the bike is hot.

Buy a later model Sporty cap that has the knurling around the edge , much easier to use than the stock slippery thing .
