honda_power earlier posted it may cost around $25 for the job at a bike shop. Has the price gone up that quickly after todays budget announcement?

might work on some road bike but to do that he would have to strip the whole motor and split the casing.

ended up costing $40... but he had a couple other little things done to it as well so fixing the sump would have been about $30. 5 minute job if you have the tools.

so how did they remove the bolt, like what tool did they use?

[honda_power]

I guess they would drill it out then re-thread the sump.

i didnt watch them do it, if your talking about oil pissing every where my mates was empty. Just turn the bike upsidedown. Better yet, take it in and let it be someone elses problem - its aparantly quite a common issue - I stripped a oil filter cap bolt in one of my crfs and the bike shop fixed it sweet was, was never a problem again
