stripped

A follow-up question to my oil change parts thread. I've learnt while doing my oil change that I've inherited a problem with 1 of the 2 bolts, the interior thread (in the bore) is stripped...therefore the bolt threads in okay and just spins, without holding any. I'm attaching a pic for...

Found this, barely holding the guide. Gotta sort out someone else's ham fisted spannering again! Any ideas lads, looks tricky, not much material and quite shallow.

I have a stripped hole for one of the m6 screws on my clutch cover. It is the one just in front of the oil sight gauge. I can tap it out 1/4 20 but I really don't know how well it will hold. The m6 helicoil uses a 6.2 mm drill bit. Has anyone repaired one of these. Also, it is the hole with...

Tackled the good old water pump shaft seal yesterday (milky oil:mad:). After reading many threads on here about it to prepare, I thought it had gone pretty well - until I found I'd fallen in to the "kick start trap"! So while removing the clutch (force parts slipper) I noticed 1 thread was...

I'm usually very weary of non-OEM sprockets as to not strip the spline on my bikes, but somehow a JT sprocket for KTM has done this to my bike. Frustrating, because there was no feedback or warning, just suddenly no gears and in the middle of nowhere. Got out and home now, looking at the decent...

So my mate done my a favour and sorted a few niggles on my 05 fe 450. Gave it back, problem not solved so I booked into local garage. Mechanic is trying to tell me that the sump plug has been so badly stripped that he can't simply rethread it and that I either need new crank cases or for the...

Hello. My drain plug hole on my Husaberg fe450 is stripped and I've drilled it out and tap it to the next size. But it seems that the treads are not so good and do not seal. What are your thoughts on using the drain plug with the oil screen to drain oil and glue the main drain plug In...

The thread on my oil drain plug has been stripped and needs to be repaired ( Helicoil) :( . Has anyone repaired one on a post 09 FE berg and can you advise if you need to take the motor out to helcoil ?? Looks as if it can be dropped a little to get straight access to the oil drain plug hole...

I bought a 2005 FE550e. When washing the bike i noticed that the threads in the fork foot that holds the fork guards have been stripped. Someone has obviously over tightened them. What can I do to remedy this ? I thought about using JB Auto Weld. Any other suggestion or magic fixes ?

Below are my observations on 2006 Husaberg engine internals. A few weeks ago I stripped the first 2006 650 that was delivered to my workshop for conversion to a 750cc, I noted a few differences / updates as I striped the engine but missed a few too. I was in a hurry to get the engine built as...
