Since it appears that most of the oil ran out AFTER the engine stopped, then you are probably OK.

No offense but I think YOU should not do either one!! :roll:

Paying a machine shop to tap would probably end up costing MORE that replacing the plate.......and then you have the problem of finding a bigger plug.........and when they go to tap the hole, they will probably remove the plate anyway.

So, like everyone else, I vote for getting new parts and letting the shop fix it. It is really not a major operation; you gently lay the bike on it's side......or put it on a hoist if you are in a shop.
Parts: $35, Labor: 1/2 hour @ $100 = $50.....plus oil and filter (if you didn't change that before).

If you get out of this for about $100, then you will be very lucky.

7 is something i'm not gonna take off, 8 is screws to that something i'm not gonna take off, and 11 is screws i'm just gonna take out of the old plate. Can I be cheap/recycle or should I spend the extra buck or two and say screw the environment.

So now let's talk about your God given mechanical ability.........or lack thereof! :poke2:

Yes, you don't need 7,8 and 11.

Oh, wait......based on previous performance.....maybe you do! :crackup

I always thought checking the screen (#7) was a regular service item. If you remove the exhaust pipes the plate in question is readily accessible. You might consider acquiring a small torque wrench for your future wrenching endeavors, and consulting the manual for proper torque specifications.

Buddies helping me replace the plate today. Anyone know what we should torque the screws going into the plate to?

JWR · 02-21-2009, 11:16 AM

There is a bolt and torque guide in the downloadable service manual.

It will be toward the end.

I will look and see .

Edit 7-25 of service manual.
