good deal

Mine melted a bit a few weekends ago. It has a bit of a warp to it and the threads on one side are a bit screwy but not bad. I can still close it and it doesn't leak - yet. I think the o-ring still seals around the top.
Gonna remember this thread if it does start leaking though. Glad to see there is a bit of a fix over just buying a new tank.

I just installed the insert on my '07 M8 and had the same problem with the the cap not threading onto the tank very well. I got it to hold after pushing down fairly hard when screwing it back on.

may have to remove o-ring if it doesnt grab .. insert is a tight fit anyway ..
satisfied today
Rode today, first ride since i installed the insert in the oil tank, completely sealed of top of neck so no more oil residue on the out side of the oil tank, one thing i did, was make sure the top of the neck is flat, and i used a box knife and trimmed the excess molding around the inside of the neck before i installed the insert. My top was flat so i had plenty of threads to use. one other thing the caps warp also. I bought a new cap and made lost of difference also.( this was before I found out about the insert) RickM

ran out of rubber o-rings that go around insert ... if you have a local store to get one the size is 1/16w x 1.06 inside diameter ... nice tight seal

machinist is spinning off parts daily .. i havent been able to get orders out last couple days due to job hours .. all past and current orders will be going out tomorrow morning ... i did manage to pick up some o-rings at local store again .. they didnt have much to buy, but the count should have me covered for a while .. thanks guys

Just got mine last week and installed it on my 2010 X-Fire 800.
Had to trim a little bit of flashing from around the lip of the opening but got the insert to drop in. The neck of my oil jug was warped and egg shaped. Putting in the insert pulled it back to round and allowed the cap to thread on much easier and without it cross threading.
Thanks Dan03Rev
