My bike had that very same bolt stripped when I got it. I ignored it for a long time. Embarrassed

It would occasionally leak around that area. I finally got around to fixing that one and a couple others that were close to being gone. I used Helicoils (Size = M6), bought a set that had everything you need and a handful of the coils off of Amazon for about $24. It was easy to do too. Came with instructions. You will need a 1/4" drill bit too, kit doesn't come with that.

It currently lists for $25.31

I think maybe me and the previous owner over torqued the bolts on it...

Posts: 499 Stafford, VA Gender:	Re: stripped bolt Reply #9 - 04/01/09 at 16:43:48 ok... so I found another bolt I had from another bike... drilled the hole out and retapped it... put the bolt in... Now what I figure the bolt is bigger, but not to big to stop the flow of oil threw the hole there... AM I RETARDED in that assessment, or am I right?
