so the D9 is a M14 and once it's stripped you simple tap it out to M15 and fit the new plug! sounds like a great solution!  |

Glad it worked Max, saved a lot of hassle. You forgot to provide a link for a mattress though, another bit of kit essential for this repair by all accounts (would be even better if it came with a Chele already attached  ) ;D |

Bought one of these and entrusted it to local bike shop. Didnt work bike gone 4 days and ended up tapping out even bigger and using longer bolt. This failed and cracked tge sump at next oil change as not enough metal left. I have just bought 2nd hand sump ebay and awaiting gadket so i can change it. Bike off rd 4 weeks now. My advice:-
1. Don't overtighten sump plug!!
2. If like me you did avoid this tap and buy a 2nd hand sump. Not a bad job to change it.
3. Don't begin until you've got a gasket that may have to come from Japan!

If it had to come from Japan, I would rather make one out of gasket paper, If you use a dowty washer, then you don't need as much force to stop it leaking. |

How clumsy do you have to be to strip the sump threads anyway? Finger tight plus a tweak is sufficient.
