do your bikes have 1 or 2 drain ports? if so, do you put those quick drains in both or just not drain from both?

The VN1700's are semi-dry sump, so there are two, and it's proper to drain both.

This thread is a result of the OP having stripped threads in his pan. These Fast Drain contraptions are a good way to fix that once and for all by installing something threaded that never needs to be removed.

have u considered a thread chaser -- different than a tap -- it cleans and partly repairs damaged threads without cutting away any metal -- just a thought -- i have used them succesfully if the damage isnt severe

Chasers are great for straightening up buggered threads, but over-tightened drain plugs in aluminum pans tend to tear out all the threads and open up a larger, unthreaded hole. Tapping for a larger (and generally more aggressive) drain plug is a common fix.

Ended up using the TIME SERT repair for this issue. Again, it was on a '12 Victory Cross-Roads. Still an aluminum case with the oil drain plug tapped directly into that aluminum. The TIME SERT uses a steel outer 'bushing", then the original plug can still be used. Yep, make the hole bigger, and hopefully better.
So far so good. The TIME SERT was done by a pro with all the right tools and previous experience. Just past my comfort level to take big drill bit to the bottom of a bike engine. Ride safe, Smokier |
