 | has a little problem Ok so i was doing an oil change on my 500 XT today when i accidentaly stripped my oil plug, so needless to say it now leaks oil...So im just woundering what the best way to fix this would be. I heard a larger self tapping oil plug or even a heli coil kit would work. Would appreciate some help with this problem |

Best perminent fix would be re-thread & new plug (oversized if needed) and clean up/re-thread the belly pan. If you can clean up the threads and get it to start try using thread tape to seal the leak....

| Re: has a little problem I have fixed stripped threads by using thread tape and a copper washer, you can also get the washers with an o'ring built on the inside. Not sure what your style is.

| Re: has a little problem I think the heli coil kit would work the best, but if there is a oil pan that is the eventual route I would take. I am not a poo poo quad rider. [Honda] |
