Re: Threaded sump
You could just have it helicoiled
Or redrill it a littel bigger and rethread it
weld up the hole redrill and retap
Weld up the hole and leave it like that
Remove the sump and replace it
Not a big job.................. easy really

Re: Threaded sump
if the bike is up for the winter id replace the sump. you will be best to do an oil change so a new sump is piss all to worry bout.Chris1984 wrote:Nice one thanks for the reply,i'll get someone to do it for me.Bike is in the shed for the winter now so going to get as these jobs done on it ready for next year.
