Finally ,took my first ride in a year today. Everything seems cool with the bike (81 1100E). Thanks to anyone and everyone that replied to my questions. Got one little issue at present I need to clear up. My oil drain plug wont tighten up. Hence it drips oil .Threads dont look bad on it . New drain plug ? Anybody got an extra? Anyone have the same thing happening ? Ideas welcome .

I've always had to heli-coil that problem, myself, unfortunately. -
Use the search feature for threads about this problem. I remember seeing more than one reference to an oversized self-tapping oil drain plug that will take care of this. I believe somebody posted that you could get them at a Napa auto parts store.Comment

I have an extra drain plug, but I don't think that's your problem either. PO over torqued the drain plug and stripped the aluminum.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

If the threads are good the oil pan is probably cracked.Comment
