when ya can pull it back out. Clean the threads and put some loctite on it and run it back in. I’ve never seen that happen.

Amazon or a local parts store should have the socket, made for sensors, about $10 or $12.
PS I wouldn't loctite it, find the correct torque. Pull a thread the heads done.

Nope skip the locktite like TB mentioned.
Had someone had the heads off for some reason maybe left it loose??
You can borrow an o2 sensor socket at alot of parts places. Just leave a deposit on it
If the threads ain't hurt your good

Nope the heads haven’t been off…it’s a stock 2020 Roadglide with the exception of a torque cam that I bought new 2 years ago…I guess my bike may have been built on a Friday lol

Threads look like they had a bit of sealant of some kind on them, I'd find a manual or be chatting up service tech to find out what if any was used and why.

They have a special deep socket for that with a long cut out on the side for the wires, think it's 22mm or 7/8" but don't hold me to that. Be aware the should be a crush washer of some kind needs to be in place when you do it. Be copper or aluminium.
Amazon or a local parts store should have the socket, made for sensors, about $10 or $12.
