Hey guys, I've just changed the oil in my divvy 600 and accidentally managed to overfill the oil. After draining some out and replacing the plug back in I managed to over tighten it, hearing a loud crack followed by more oil pouring out. Unfortunately this puts the bike off the road until such time as I can find a new one, but I can't seem to find it listed anywhere and was wondering if anyone knew the part number or where I might find one. I've got a picture of the part attached. Thanks in advance. Attachments:

I had already had a look over that site and the part that I require doesn't seem to be listed under the model of the bike; which I just figured would have been helpful if I had given it...
It's an Divvy XJ600s 1995 model.

Unfortunately that for the actual sump, the bolt in the picture I attached is from the side of the bike, it seems to be for letting out a little bit of oil and when you remove the bolts from either side (they are identical) you can see all the way through. Will try and get up an image of my bike where the part should go tomorrow.

Looks like one of Trevs ear plugs if you remove them you can see right through ;D

Halfords sell a range of sump plugs (with copper washers to suit). Might be worth taking your broken one along to see whether they have a match.

Thanks for the assistance so far and I have managed tosecure the part. From what I can gather it's merely called a "plug" and the "o-ring" that goes with it.
Just in case you were curious the part numbers are:
Plug: 3KM151890000
O-Ring: 932102057300

It serves to drain the oil from below the crankshaft at either end. Err, we don't usually touch that sir! In fact it has no practical place in Mr Haynes's manual as far as I can see. Glad you got it sorted!  |

Is that the plug you used to drain the engine oil? You won't have drained the bottom of the sump by using that. Why didn't you remove the sump drain bolt  |

That bolt seems to be more than a simple plug - in Mali's picture, it looks like a banjo bolt. There is a shallow channel between the end of the thread and the o-ring seating place, and it looks as though there is an oil way drilled into he bolt in that channel. And why does it have an o-ring rather than a copper washer or compression ring?
I think it might be the crankshaft end plug, which appears on page 2.28 of my Haynes manual - picture 22.14c, which is part of the crankcase reassembly section.
It might be worth studying this section rather carefully. If I am right, then sealant should be used on the plug.

A steel plug should be fairly tough - have the threads stripped in the engine case?
The plug in the fuzzy image looks ok from what I can see. Which part actually went "crack"?

It might be worth studying this section rather carefully. If I am right, then sealant should be used on the plug. The picture isn't clear but the shape seems the same. However it is a black finished 'plug' which is located on the outside of the crankcase (on both sides) well below the axis of the crankshaft at the same level as the lower front engine mounting bolt and oil level window. You can see it on the large front cover picture of the manual. Edit: They are mentioned in the torque settings page 2.4 'crankcase plugs' and there's a picture of one on page 2.6, figure 5.17b. |

Nuff said.  |

Yes but the plug in the picture is not the sump drain plug that we all assume would be the to would remove if he's changing the oil.
Same question as before- what actually went crack when it was taken out? Has the engine case broken or was it just the threads releasing?
