• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hello everyone, I need to replace a stripped drain plug on my 2015 RTS, it is the smaller one located on the right side of the bike when seated that only uses a crush washer. It is NOT the engine drain plug that requires 3 o-rings. Local dealership cannot find it listed on there parts locator....
Thank you in advance for your help.

Since the Pan is an alloy and the drain plug is steel …… I hope you didn't strip the threads on the Pan !!!!! ….. get a mirror and check it ….. …. Whenever I'm using a Ratchet upside down I always set it to either remove or tighten ….BEFORE … I use it ……. this way there's no guessing …..good luck …. Mike :ohyea:
 
Not real familiar with which engines are in the previous machines. I just messed up the hex hole in the drain plug on mine. Had to bump the plug out with a chisel. That plug is not going back in. Lamonster and several other places have a replacement drain plug for the 1330 Ace engines that do not have the torx and hex holes in them. They got bolt hex heads in 12mm and 14 mm that you can get a regular socket on. The one that takes the torx came out OK, but I am replacing both of them anyway to head off future problems. Won't need to lay under the bike with a dettal pick digging crud out of the hole in the plug or worrying about stripping it anymore. The 12mm and 14mm have enough meat there to turn them.
