I changed the oil in my '02 600 last night, and I believe that I may have over-torqued the drain plug. I noticed it last night, when i went to give it one last turn, and felt like it still had siome room to move.
I checked the bike this afternoon, and found a 2" diameter oil spot of the ground. I frlt the plug, and it had a little oil on it. I know that it's not from the change, because I wiped everything down after Iwas done.
If I over-torqued the bolt, do I need to replace the whol oil pan or can I get a rubber o-ring to put on the bolt to seal the small gap? If that won't work, then I may need a new oil pan. If so, does anyone have a bike that they are parting out, how much for the pan, what year would fit and does it make a difference if it's a 600 or 750?
Thanks for all that can help.
