I stripped the drain plug on my f3. I tried a universal rubber plug but it continues leaking. I have been unable to find an oversized 12m x 1.5 drain plugs…any ideas?

Is it hard to replace the oil pan? Looks easy…too bad shit is closed on sundays…arghhhh

IDEAS??

Ask quick, he may know of a bike junk yard that will either have a plug there or a pan :dunno:

Thats the one thing I hate so far with owning a bike, is trying to get parts. I have to wait 10 buisness days for a new fan switch for my bike (every dealer and online place I tried). I said screw it and installed a manual switch to hold me over till it comes in…lol
