Motorcycle Repair: 1999 GSXR 600 oil pan repair, oil pan repair, thread inserts


Question
recently the threads in the oil pan, where the drain plug sits became stripped out. Is there a way to repair the threads without going to machine shop, or having to replace the oil pan that I can do myself?

Answer
Hi Jason,

Chances are good that the threads can be restored or replaced with stronger, steel thread inserts.

Send me an email address as requested. I'll return a couple of tech files on thread repair and links to products available for such repairs.

Respectfully,
