Pics?

If I can get the jack under there and lift that beast up enough to take a picture I will, because I don't want to chance picking it up by hand right now with a fresh one of these:

man up :lol: damn bro that looks like it feels good.

Oh yeah....that looks like it would throb like a sonofabitch. At least it missed breaking the joint. I've drilled that hole in the nail to release the pressure a few times...but not after what you did. Ouch.

I saw your drag car in the thread on RF, very impressive brother!

 

[TT500]

You mean this car? It's so damn much fun I can hardly stand it. Thread highjack now complete....:lol:

This was a 10.0 pass but it's gone 9.50 at 138 in the 1/4 mile .

Here is the AutoZone link for those of us that do not have an Advance Auto around.

So I'm kind of confused how this works. Why is the tap tapered? Is the beginning of the tap m14 and get wider?

My issue is that there was an oversized drain plug already in my bike and now it won't tighten but it threads fine. Should I try and tap it to an m16 and use a different drain plug or try this kit?

When we sent the motor off to Ken at KCT for the new race build, he said he'd take care of it. He had to go through the motor anyway to change the seals.

Ken welded a steel bung for the drain, and it now uses a flange bolt as the drain plug.

Pics?

Better late than never? Thumb is doing better and I've been working on the quad some. I removed the skid and snapped a couple pics.. The new bolt uses a 17mm socket:

That's how I blew my motor mine stripped and had it fixed but it still leaked a little so I really didn't know how much oil I had it sure let me know at the dunes thoe. Gernade

 

[high octane junkie]

That sucks brotha.

I've had mine done like this for almost two years now. I haven't ran the quad much, maybe 4 hours but it hasn't leaked at all.

 

[dannyray]

Lol your bike will outlast me if you run it for four hours every 2 years

Hah, I really need to ride it more. I have three quads altogether and can't ride them all simultaneously. My yfzR has only been rode a couple hours in the past two years I think also. I've been riding the Zuk more often.

 

[dannyray]

How funny it sounds like your still breaking them in I have 3 also but 1 for each person in my family. well at least the resale will be awesome if you ever sell them junkie !

 

[Jeffxxx]

Well my solution is going to be to tap it out to m16x1.5 and use this QuickOilDrainValve.com - the best way to change oil and use the hose clip to add extra security from it coming open.

Mines stripped out now too :nono: Like the idea of welding the bung in the hole. Think thats a safe way of doing it?

2 years on it now and going strong, if I got another 700 right now I would do the same thing whether it was stripped or not. I'm a big fan of it.

guys i was looking for the fram sure drain 14mm but its sold out and has been for a while i cant seem to find it anywhere, but what do u guys thing about the fumoto drain?
Amazon.com: Fumoto F-106N Engine Oil Drain Valve: Automotive

i would love to weld a bung to my raptor but there isnt anyone around that i would trust to do it, and if it goes bad i must ship the parts from the US

 

[Justin700r]

screwed

My bro inlaw did the same thing to his. Very touchy drain plug. We took it to the dealer and they said that they see it quite often so they recomended a hela-coil. Took them a couple hours and about 80 bucks and we were back on the road.

Hey hows it going can you send a link of what helicoil you got?
