Well, between too thick a sealing washer, using too big a torque wrench, previous wear and my own ham-fistedness, I badly stripped out my fork oil drain plug on my left fork. Like, reamed it out smooth bad.
I somehow managed to salvage the right plug.
What's my best remedy? Order a Time-Sert? Time to go get that tap & die set? Any better options?
As an aside, nearest I can tell the fork oil capacity for an '85 K100RS is supposed to be 380ML after a full teardown. This sound right?
