I have a problem.  Well two actually as both 690s have this issue.  One of those threaded inserts into which you screw the grab handle (behind the seat, either side of the fuel cap) is spinning and I cannot fasten the bolt.  On the other bike the problem is worse as the bolt is and won't come out as the threaded insert spins in the plastic.  I am sure others must have faced this problem at some stage.  Anyone have a solution?
