Buell Xb12s, running not really nice, while the injectors where in the cleaning cycle, trying to fix the insert, the little countersunk screw was so thigh, with out removing the bump stop plate you can not get a socket on the insert, make shift spacer , red loctite and the mount bolt, will get the insert in and tight, leave it a little so the loctite cures, and remove the bolt, insert will stay in.
