Hi All,
Was Due to collect the 2004 Baghira, stunning condition and in yellow.
The yellow hand guards arrived today ripped open packet eagerly.
Then got message to ring seller to be informed, he had chainged oil this year tightened to the 30nm on drain plug.
Checking it over before collection, he noticed weep from drain plug.
Nipped it up but next day still weeping.
He ordered new crush washers incase its that and since old nut was rather rounded he ordered new bolt.
He went to fit today and when removing bolt it came away with remenents of a helicoil it seams.
Now what are your thoughts on this please, as its already been helicoiled and now would need doing again and all the issues of swarf in the case with failed helicoil and then needing drilling again or would another helicoil screw into original, im not up on helicoil fitments etc.
If this could be done safely i would then get one of the one way valve jobies so never needing to unscrew the bolt again.
But i fear i will have to walk away from this as other than a full stripdown you have the doubt of swarf being in the case and subsequent failure.
All help greatly appreciated.
James
