Joe, p_s, Brian, Wazz...thanks a ton for all the info. I picked up Helicoils at Autozone today during lunch, but I'll take them back and use the Permetex stuff instead.
Whats one more trip to the parts store? I spend so much time there these days that they greet me like Norm from Cheers, except (unfortunate) for the big glass of beer.
And I will try very hard not to park my bike by laying it on it's left side until I confirm that it does not leak much.

IF there is enough meat around the boss drill and tap it for a 8 mm bolt.

Thanks,
Joe
Thanks for all the insight and assistance!

Any advice or suggestions?
There is such a minor spray of oil in that casing to cool the stator and drive out moisture that even on the stand there is only 1/2 quart max while leaning. Only an ounce when vertical in riding position. Go ahead and test the stator no problem.
