I never use the lock on the fuel cap & it always undoes no worries.

The insert is a gusset that I believe also serves to prevent you filling with diesel by mistake. I haven't tried it but I suspect a diesel pump nozzle will not fit through the hole. Harleys have them too. I got used to it with the Harley I had before I came to the Rocket, though it took a bit of getting used to with a few splash-backs at first, and now I don't have any problems.

I fill up sat astride the bike. Put the pump nozzle just through the hole in the gusset (no jokes..) and fill with about half pressure.

None of my Harley's had this issue. But since I just got back from a 150 mile ride I noticed it when I filled up. I just stand to the right & pull the "foreskin" back & fill her slow. The first time there was little bits of splash but I think I got it down now. It's actually quite annoying.
