Last night I got an email from the owner of a 750RR that said, “The drain plug might be bad…”
For real? Let me loosen the drain plug… *click!*
It’s completely empty! I can’t believe you managed to ride it here—that’s some serious guts…
What do we do now? So here we go again—do we have to pull the oil pan off?
Man, this is really something…
After cleaning and checking again, it’s basically stripped! No good…
I thought about replacing the oil pan, but I figured that would be wasteful, so I decided to just use a drain plug one size larger
and it should work!
Checked the gasket! Checked the bolt! Checked the threads! In the end, I re-tapped it to M16×P2.0~
S-s-success~♪ And as a bonus, the bolt head looks a little cleaner now~
