      To those who used a +1 plug, where did you get it at? Same problem on my 550!

          oil drain plug

          Do yourself a favor and do the right fix on it, pull the pan off your bike and take it to a good bike shop or machine shop. Have them install a steel threaded insert and a new drain plug with a copper crush washer. When you get it back, the insert may stick up a bit inside the pan, just take a file or a dremel tool and cut two slots down even with the pan, this way all the oil will drain out. This fix is forever, don't ever had to worry about stripping it out again. It is worth the time and money to get it done. I fixed my bike like this and wondered why I wasted so much time on band aids.
