oil plugs
« on: March 31, 2024, 12:50:53 PM »
Hi Guys. Where can you find the tiny rubber oil plugs that go on the left side lower case transmission shifter area. Trans cover holds it in place. Vital Moto Parts LLC did carry them but they seem to be out of business

I've made them before from a small test-tube stopper. I've also [slightly] enlarged the hole and tapped it, and made a short plug from a section of a bolt of the same thread, and a slot across its face for a flat-blade screwdriver, to turn it into place and set it with Loctite. I first did that in 2012: the bike just came back last year for some more specialized work on it, and the little plug is still there, in the same position I set it at 10 years ago! Here's a picture of that one.
