  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

So i just got my 2013 TE310r about a month ago exactly, and i love it. i had a ton of issues with it right out of the box but the dealer worked them out... no smog shit anymore.. anyways, i noticed the bike was leaking a bit of oil so i was checking it out and the Oil drain bolt looked cross threaded! i was due for an oil change anyways so i decided to check it out.. i pull out the bolt and sure enough, the bolt was in there a hair sideways! totally messed up the threads in the Pan, didnt even scuff the bolt!!! of course with my luck.. now im sitting here with a brand new bike, completely deprived of oil, and totally stuck on what to do.. i dont want to pull the motor of this thing, and there isnt much room under there so i dont think i can even get a thread tapper inside.. any info on the way to go? thanks everyone!

Is this the drain with the screen/hose connection, or the sump bolt? Presumably the former, since you said it's too tight to get to with a tap.

I've got a slight leak, which I think is coming from that connection, too. It was a huge pain trying to reconnect that line after an oil change, but I ended up taking the hose off (despite the manual stating not to), and threading the bolt in. Pretty sure I didn't cross thread it, so I'm not sure why it's leaking, unless it's from the hose connection. It's a horrible design, unless you have elf hands.
 
it is the one with the screen and the hose. im stump at what to do, and i feel like if i take it to the dealer they are going to say "tough shit!"
 
When I found my Harley had a stripped plug, I replaced it with an over-sized drain plug, it's just a hair bigger than stock, they come in different sizes and double and triple oversize. I've got prolly 40,000 miles on the one in my Harley.

Bad news!

There is barely enough room in there to get the plug out when it is not stripped.

I think you may have to pull that motor.

It's actually pretty easy to do....there is no head stay, no oil lines, just some bolts wires and the exhaust. You can grease your swingarm bearings while it is out.
