Done it last month ..........made me sick. Always tried to be careful to keep from doing it.
The mech at my HD dealership thought about using the helicoil but then opted to retap and use oversized plug. I did mention Time-Sert and he acted like he was not to keen on that....He said he has been very successful in the oversized plug repair..........
Course he made sure there was no leaks before I picked it up...I trailered it home ...
I put it away for the winter after I went to the gas station and filled the tank ......
That has been a over a month ago.
Well........noticed where oil is leaking out of the transmission plug.......
Going to call the dealership in the morning.....but I guess what I want to ask.... what is the "best permanate" repair in your all's opinion....I will not rule out a new transmission case if I keep on fighting this........Bike has low miles and I will have it for several more years to come..
Thanks for your all's help
