Has anybody stripped out the drain plug on the bottom of the oil tank yet? If so, how did you fix it? Is there any aftermarket tanks out there yet? Helecoil? Any suggestions would help.

Damn Shin you sure are hell on the oil changes. I had to replace my throttle cable today and let me tell you that was an adventure.

What did you find out about the tranny on your other ltr?

 

[Shindog]

Hey JPB, I didnt do this one, this is someone elses bike I just told him i would try to find a fix for him :mellow: . I guess we need to find a Heli Coil somewere.
The Tranny is covered under the warranty on my sons bike but my local dealer doesnt even have a service manual on the thing yet so I am a little nervouse . Probably wont see the bike for 2 monthes after I drop it off :huh: . Ohh well, at least I dont have to pay for it....yet B) .

You got me all freaked out about the tranny thing. First Jake's then yours. My warranty is up in 3 weeks. Contmeplating getting the extended, but it says they don't cover if you are racing "organized" events. I know it would be hell for them to prove, but all they would have to do is look at the stqra or gcqra site.

 

[billjab]

yeah i stripped mine too....how are you guys fixing it?

 

[Shindog]

Yea, Thats my problem with the warranty. My Dealer sponsors us and they know we race so they wont honor the extended . I was thinking about usung another dealer after the 6 months runs out?? I dont know, I just hope hope the problems dont get worse as it gets older?

 

[BCGIrish]

I don't think racing voids the warranty. That's BS.

 

[onesavage]

yeah racing should not void the warranty considering all the advertising says RACE READY out of the box :angry: :angry:
