Coolant spilling through radiator cap. Why?

Hi there,

I drained the coolant from my Tenere (2009) but I am having trouble to refill the system again.

Basically, every time I switch on the engine, the coolant will come out through the radiator cap.
I read here that there are some faulty caps out there for some XT models. Is the one for the Tenere 2009 among these? The cap was OK until I drained the system.

Maybe I am doing something wrong? Should the cap fit tight on the neck of the radiator? Seems a bot loose to me. Not sure whether it should be like that.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!
