1.You might try a bigger allen wrench and peck it in with a hammer and try that. The pecking of the hammer might also help loosen it up.
2. I'm not for sure on the 500 but the 700 should be 25-34 psi at 5500 rpm's when the engine is hot.
3. Mine stays around 185-195 and the fan comes on at 196.

It is funny that this topic should come up today. I just changed my oil this afternoon and I too stripped the oil plug. You won't believe what I found...
The darn thing is a metric allen. I know, I know, everything else on the bike is SAE, but I'm telling you as God as my witness, the metric allen wrench is the one that fit. I even bought a brand new plug from my dealer and it is a metric oil plug. GO FIGURE!
Anyway, good luck.

it is running like it has been running for the last 2 years i believe, the temp gauge says at 200 and the fan kicks on several times, i hear it when i am idleing, seems to be working fine, i think.. what do i need to do to check this?? it has the rite amount of coolant in it.
also, i need to make sure i am trying to get the rite plug out for my oil gauge line...
on my 500, looking at it from the leftside at the temp sensing plug, to the left about 3 inches, the plug is located at a slant on the bottom side of the block...that the rite one?
