oil drain plug

[TripleJ]

The reason for leaving that one alone is it is installed with red locktight and could possibly crack the engine case while trying to remove it. If you loosened it up and retightened it and it does not leak you should be good to go.

I would keep an eye on it to see if a leak develops later. The service manual will be the best money spent on your scoot, good move.

Will do, what if I put some J and B weld around the perimeter of the seal?

No, do not put jb weld around the plug. Most likely it will not leak. If it does, remove the plug and put liquid teflon or tape around it and tighten. Sholuld be good to go

Re: oil drain plug >

Manual on order thank you. I used Teflon tape as well. Thank you

I did back the pipe plug out. I then put it back in and tightened it. Oops. Is that real bad?

As long as:s does not leak u should be O K

Thanks for the help
The oil that came out of that pipe plug that I took out, is the same engine oil correct? if I take it out and drain the oil from there clean the oil off the threads and put red locktight back on it should be back to the way it was? Thank You Rob
