Sump plug bolt - SV650.org

sump plug bolt has rounded!

took the oppurtunity to do an oil and filter change on sunday as the rain had stopped. When i tried to undo the sump plug bolt the socket went round but the bolt didnt

Dunno why this has happened as i did it up last time to the right torque, unless my torque wrench is knackered too.

My problem is how to get the bolt out, and where can i get a new one from? does it have to be from suzuki?

why on earth would you want to do it up with a torque wrench?

getting it out may be tricky

can you get molegrips on it?

should be cheap enough for a new one

I would guess it's a suzuki one, it's fine pitch IIRC

Don't do it up so tight next time.

Mole grips, or carefully weld something to the bolt to get it off.

Getting a new one wont be all that dear or hard 2 get your only problem is geting your old one out now.as said above dont tighten it as much the next time! and 2 try and get this one out either go the next socket down and hammer it on if its not rounded enough for that then either weld something 2 it or try mole grips.

oh........

the one on my bike is alloy, with a magnet fitted to it

OK then that's worth checking before you put MIG gun on it

Also whatever you do dont strip the thread in the (alloy) crankcase as that gets expensive to sort out.
