Default RE: oil change

I bought a whole bag of orings from Zanotti's for $3.......enough for my entire lifetime....... No problem......as I am sick of driving 10 miles to get an o-ring. [:@]


ORIGINAL: jimw411

I torque and loctite everything on my bike, except when it comes to my drain plugs and my derby cover. I just go by feel, and i havent had any problems. Keep an extra set of drain plug o-rings, junt in case, if you tighten them too much, or just after time the rings get buggered up and will leak if you dont replace them.
