......I'm definately not as stupid as you are gulible....twice in one thread.....Do you really think any one is so dumb as to need a blow by blow instruction on undoing a bolt and how to use a ratchet?....FFS.....pdath made a simple mistake that any one could do....I for one would not be taking him by the hand and saying now this is how you undo a bolt....Originally Posted by dipshit
Pdath... good luck getting it sorted hope you are on the road before summers over

Whooosh.
So pdath made a simple mistake right. Anyone could do it. Sure they could.
Just as a surgeon could replace the wrong hip or amputate the wrong leg. Simple mistakes really.
Dipshit's advice wasn't about how to undo a bolt but a strategy a professional may use to mitigate risks of making a mistake in the first place, in a field the op is apparently deficient. It's about knowing what can go wrong and how to manage that, not about undoing a bolt.

At last, I finally got my bike back today with the sump plug socket repaired. Needed to be welded and a helicoil installed. My wallet is $120 lighter for the experience, but now I'm just keen to get back out on the bike!

Probably just enough money to make you think _very_ carefully next time, without pissing you off too much at the expense. Have fun - it's always good to get back on after time away from the bike.

$120 is pretty cheap really
Rider in training
Yeah I thought it was ok. The helicoil was about $70 or $80 when I looked into the price of it originally.$120 is pretty cheap really
The bike had a pretty full tank when I took it in, but thought I had better check just in case. Opened it up, nope, can't see anything n the tank at all. Started tapping down the side of the tank with my finger, nope, can't find the petrol line in the tank.
So I'll be taking the bike directly to a petrol station in the morning.
I had a service done as well, and I guess they drained the tank and forgot to put petrol back in it. Doh!
Glad I checked my fuel tank!

Yes the price does sound reasonable...and the weekend is here, hope you have some good weather and get some riding in....and there is still a couple of months of summer left.

For those following this thread I'm pleased to say I've just done my next oil change (they said to do it after 1,000km because of the machining). Check the ratchet lots of times to make sure it was definitely set correctly. Sump plug came out no issues. So glad to say I learnt my lession.
I have to say, it was much more satisfying to work on the bike this time. Only took me a fraction of the time it usually does. Might finally be developing basic servicing skills!
Might even offer to do my next one at a NASS training night for others interested in learning (and there is bound to be others more experienced who might be able to give me some further tips).
