I decided to change my oil pan/sump (as the manual calls it) for 2 reasons.
1. I striped the main plug by over tightening it during an oil change
2. It looked like it was leaking through the pan gasket over time
I went ahead and ordered all the replacement parts I need from cheapcycleparts.com and bikebandit.com including a new pan. I realize now I probably could have kept the old pan and re drilled, threaded it and used a new gasket, but I like new so that is where I am. I have all the parts now and I thought I would get started. Following the manual(98+ 750) on page 2-47.
Installation
12 Fit a new O-ring and install the shim
Well the shim I have isn't as wide or as deep as the old one, so it doesn't hold the O-ring in place. I put them in and they fall out. I don't know what to do. I actually reordered the parts to see if they were wrong but they look exactly the same, didn't take them out of the package so I can return them if they are the same. Not sure what to do, I can post pictures later tonight, but really need some help here. I am positive I ordered the right parts from the OEM parts diagram on both sites, really at a loss...
