Your lucky you've only trown out the bearing, hauling that hay trailer behind your bike..lol. Your clutch hydraulic or cable...?

Come on @busster...please tell us how you would have delt with this situation....we're all waiting....lol.

That's kinda vague....lol....by doing what exactly...?

You think Marcel is a hack?

I hear you, here it’s like that two or three times per year.

Properly.

Well, Oregon is definitely on fire....an estimated 400k acres. Air quality warnings everyday...the smoke is flat-out oppressive. Hard to get anything done outside with consistent temps like this as well....

I'm curious....and just how would you have repaired it ?

At least it has a chance of getting a proper repair now.

Anyway it's out my missing hair now....i guess the yamaha dealer won't be looking at it now...not before a month....and the Kawasaki dealer were the bike was acquired...they want to replace the case itself....probably just to be not liable if something happens...

Go UNC.

I installed a Barnett clutch in my XS 400R & also in one of my Seca 550's....they worked awesome ...absolutely loved 'em.

A couple of blokes was it?

Fitted a Baker heavy duty clutch throw out bearing today. See here! It increases clutch disengagement and is supposed to slightly increase the lever pressure but I can’t feel any difference, it was a preventative maintenance job as stage 2 puts a lot more load on the clutch and the bearing tends to fail. Next job is the Barnet extra plate clutch kit as the clutch slips under power in fifth and sixth now.

Me and Mandi met a couple with those NC750s on the Chunnel some time ago. They'd had them a year and said they kept making ride plans as they loved them.

Went up to Damerells to have a peak at the new CB1000GT. Very nice too. I was with Steve and Martyn. I think Steve has found his new bike.

Well the count down for sturgis has begun...really hope the weather stays good...and the air quality improves...lot's of forest fires at the moment in Canada...

'A man went to confession Father', he confessed, 'it has been one month since my last confession. I had sex with Fanny Green twice last month.' The priest told the sinner, 'You are forgiven. Go out and say three Hail Mary's.' Soon thereafter, another man entered the confessional. 'Father, it has been two months since my last confession. I've had sex with Fanny Green twice a week for the past two months.' This time, the priest questioned, 'Who is this Fanny Green?' 'A new woman in the neighborhood,' the sinner replied. 'Very well,' sighed the priest. Go and say ten Hail Mary's. At mass the next morning, as the priest prepared to deliver the sermon, a tall, voluptuous, drop-dead gorgeous redheaded woman entered the sanctuary. The eyes of every man in the church fell upon her as she slowly sashayed up the aisle and sat down right in front of the priest. Her dress was green and very short, and she wore matching, shiny emerald-green shoes. The priest and the altar boy gasped as the woman in the green dress and matching green shoes sat with her legs spread slightly apart, but just enough to realize she wasn't wearing any underwear. The priest turned to the altar boy and whispered, 'Is that Fanny Green?' The bug-eyed altar boy couldn't believe his ears but managed to calmly reply, 'No Father, I think it's just a reflection from her shoes'.

Oil plug size is 8mm...not sure if 1mm would have done the trick....he really bored out the treads...maybe 10mm... 9mm tap is kinda of a odd size around here...mine jumps from 8 to 10...

Another option, go up 1mm on the bolt size and cut the new thread. No drilling that way.

It has to be a drainage hole...so running and insert or heli-coil covering the hole...im guessing part of the engine case won't fully drain when he does the next oil change....think it only holds like 1l of oil...

Got another pic...before pulling out the detached threads...threads are covering half of the hole...
