Oil cap not tight

[jharrell]

Quick question,
Just took the oil cap off the new R3T for the first time.
It was VERY tight however when putting it back it seems to fit loose. Turns and comes out
easily now. Is this normal?

Thanks,
John

They aren't threaded so is to tighten or loosen like a screw but only push in and pull out type.

I figured that part put. It pushes in and pulls out very easy. Is it supposed to be hard to pull out?

 

[mully95]

Not really .... I was surprised myself the first time I removed it how it doesn't really tighten down snug but just pushes in and stays that way.
