My friend stripped the drain plug in the tranny on his long-suffering
LeMans 1. It takes a 10 x 1.5 helicoil, and I am going to try and do it
in-situ, by laying the bike over (tank and sidecovers removed) and
snapping the little helicoil tang off with needlenose pliers so it
doesn't go through the tranny. Anyone been down this road? I figure
we'll have to drain and refill the trans a few times to get the little
aluminum chips out, but I just put the tranny bvack in in March!
