[QUOTE="saganaga, post: 210590, member: 5445"] I have bigger problems now. Did a ride with seafoam, really seemed to help. 60 miles with 4 ounces added to the oil. Went to change the oil. Everything was going smoothly until I went to install the drain bolt. Started threading by hand. Felt resistance. Backed it out. Looked closely at the drain bolt, discovered a another system of threads attached to it which had broken. Someone drilled it out to a M16 and inserted what looks to be a timesert. Shone a flashlight into it, threads looked... Well, they've seen better days. Bought an oversized drain bolt, and carefully tried torquing it to 20 ft-lbs just to start. (HSM says 28 ft-lbs) Tighter, tighter, waiting for the click... Then almost no resistance. Backed out the bolt. Found a metal fagment. The threads drilled for the timesert stripped. :sensored: :head bang: This ain't good. Suggestions? I'm leaning towards heading to calling the motorcycle graveyard on Tuesday and seeing what they have for front engine covers in the yard. Or EBay. My only worry is getting one with the same problem - are the GL1100s known for stripping out the oil drain plug? Or was this the result of a previous owner's stupidity? If I do go with a new front cover, do I need an '82 or '83 due to the neutral sensor? [/QUOTE]
