I ordered a new one today because I saw that the guy I bought the bike from stripped it or the previous owner of him did. When I went to try and use an allen key to unscrew it, it spun inside the hole with little effort. So then I tried a chisel to engrave a slot in the plug so i could then place some channel locks on the chisel and turn but that wouldn't work either! Please help what can I do??!!

 

u have a pic of it?

 

Let me search around the net it's too dark outside now to take one.

 

here is a picture it is the large plug in the center of the crank cover. with the 10mm allen key in it.

 

yea... i dont understand what you are saying. the ROTOR NUT PLUG is in the center of the crank case cover. it's the large diametered circle in the middle of the engine in the pic above.

 

ahh yea its not. its deffly a newer one the thermostat is on the front of the motor on mine but im not worried about that the ROTOR NUT PLUG is still the same and thats what I need help with.

 

?? lol... any help?

 

Maybe you could use a dremel tool to grind a slot in it and use a big screwdriver or put the screwdriver in the slot toward the edge of it and tap the screwdriver with a hammer in the off direction to get it to turn loose?? Just a thought.....

 

very good thought... i tried that after starting this post.. lol.. it didnt even move! I was like "OMG! Why won't you give out!??@" lmao I think Ima try for a while tonight and ima get it before the end of the night I want it off! haha thanks though

 

Dont know how tore up it is but maybe you can hammer a larger torx bit into the hole and try turning that as well.....Just another thought...Good Luck!
