Hey all I got my first bike a couple weeks ago and though it'd be a great idea to try my hand at my first ever oil change. I may have royally fucked it up by stripping the threads on the oil drain, after posting in other forums I was recommended to use a helicoil to fix it but I'm too scared of getting metal shards in the engine. I noticed that it looks like I could remove a bit of the casing that looks like it only holds the oil plug ( ). Does anyone know if I can replace just the part that holds the plug or am I going to have to tap it or helicoil it or something? Any help is greatly appreciated for this newbie.
