One of my son's riding buddies call yesterday and sent me a Pic...he booger up the threads in his drain plug.... from the pic yesterday looked like he only cross threaded the first few threads...figured just running a tap to fix up the threads at the start it would have been fine cause the drain plug was long enough to catch solid threads..but it was worse than I thought...he over tightened it and pulled out all of the threads from the entire length of the drain plug...and Its a brand new bike..2026...it has to be overzied now...with a helicoil...what a fucken mess..not sure I want to take the risk to drill out the case...think Im not going to bother with it now...can't see from the pic..but like 3 threads in there's a hole inside the drain plug hole..looks to be a drain hole of somekind...not sure exactly what id be drilling into..or have metal shaving floating around in there...

@Six30 would..

Not sure exactly what's going on in the backwoods of Main but I suspect inbreeding ...lol. That's actually a Democrat nominee for a US senate seat in the coming election.

Buckster started the shit show again...lol.

Africans ?

Here's a new one to add to your vocabulary... D - dipshitidiot. No the A you posted. A- absolute dominion over all creation, are you finally admitting that Adam and Eve were Neanderthal ?

Im having difficulty understanding A , could you clarify that a little ?

Here we go again....lol.

Calm down there pop rivet Joe...

That would kinda suck doing a top-up mid ride....

I'll let Buckster answer this one...

Look I've been trying to have a normal conversation....and you keep trolling me...lol Cuckoo thing was kinda funny...have to admit...lol.

Your so full of shit...lol. Who's copying who now again...?

Like I was saying....they supposebly checked it at the first service....fortunately that 950 engine isn't one of those who requires valve lash adjustments every year...it's about to turn over 100 thousand km...still runs like a swiss clock....

1139 BC. ?...or BCE ?

Hold on a minute...lol....you forget where I lived....2004....the job wasn't difficult...or did I have access to the internet...it's not like I could call someone and asked them what setting they were using on the carbs...needle position and jet sizes.....when I did get the internet hooked up , it wasn't high speed...lol...took 5 min sometimes just to download a pic ffs...lol.

Now Im partial to hydraulic lifters , seems like a drain in the wallet department if you ask me having to adjust valves every year...lifters have there limits but for a low reving engine ...I think it's the way to go...

Yes those boxers are nice for that....the 950 were supposably checked at the first service...tell you the thruth ,I don't believe they even done it now, by the amount of time the bike was in the shop...lol.... It's something now I diffetnly check into...looked at a few videos and that valve service on the triumph don't look to complicate at all...not much stuff to remove or required any special tools...it has rocker arms...unlike the ktm engine we're the cam is sitting directly on the bucket shim..needing to remove cams for any shims swop out...

Conor McElder.

The nightmare started when I decided to remove the SAS system and stock muflers...must have lost and entire summer and part of another one ,trying to make it run right...it's basically how I found myself on OC...
