Hey, i need a new drain plug( on case) for my 400, so i as looking around and see rocky mtn. has some magnetic plugs for all xr's, so i'm thinking these will work for me? what do you guys think..

 

so you're tellin me know one has ever changed a drain plug?

 

Go to www.servicehonda.com

 

ya, i know service honda, but they have no oem stuff in stock, they ship directly from japan which obviously takes a while, i need a new plug by this weekend. Thats why i wanted to know if an xr oil drain plug will fit the case of the 400ex. By the way, i shop from ronnies.com for oem stuff, they have always treated me good, plus, they are only a few hours away.

 

DID YOU STRIP YOUR CASE OR THE PLUG . YOU CAN BUY DRAIN PLUGS AT A AUTO PARTS STORE THAT HAS A FLUTE LIKE A TAP THAT YOU CAN PUT IN . IF ITS YOUR CASE JUST TAP IT TO A BIGGER SISE AND PUT A NEW BOLT(SHORT BOLT) BACK IN

 

didnt strip anything, i lost the plug while riding...motors fine though caught the leak in time

 

To get you thru the weekend go to local hardware and buy metric bolt. Cost will be less than 1$

 

you need more than just a bolt unless its already pipe threaded, which i doubt.
