Take the seat off so you can get a firm grip on the cap. turn counter clockwise. it will come out! before returning cap, put some vasoline on the o ring, that seems to make it a "little" easier. WARNING! do not get to rough with the pop up feature...it breaks easily and costs 68 bucks for a new one if you can't machine your own parts to repair it.
I found it really difficult to screw the Harley oil cap fully back & I didn't want to break the cap! It looked wrong riding around with it not flush with the side panel & it would pop up (but not leak!)
I found an elastic band & wrapped it round the cap a couple of times, when it was up & with the seat on, it was enough to get it turned the amount it needed! Then pushed it in, all sorted.
I hope this helps you. Remember Loud pipes save lives! Chris, in the UK.

No threads on my 97'. have to continue to wiggle and pull then it pops out but not without quite a bit of effort.
