I finally got around to putting on some new crash bars. While I was upside down, holding the wrench on the bottom motormount nut, whilest attempting to tighten by turning the bolt head, I got ahold of the wrong bolt. I snapped off the oil plug that resides just below the ignition case cover. At first, I thought I broke the motormount bolt, but oil was draining out. Anyone know what it is for? There is an Oring around the flange and it is hollow.

Hey Skids,
I believe it's just the end of the oil galley that is left after they machine the galley, so they put a plug in it!!

TC is right. It is the main oil galley feeding the main bearings. Don't start it up, or you'll have one hell of a mess. Do you have a spare plug? The OEM O ring is still available for Bike Bandit.Comment

I have a couple of scrap motors that would not miss a plug. Send me your addy.
