What's the best way to stop the dripping from the drain plug. It is in all the way. When the oil was changed the hole was clean with a cotton swap as well before the plug was put back in.

Bike is a friend's 92 FXR.

 

assuming it's not stripped

parts finder says it supposed to have a nylon washer #6007

I have a copper washer on my FL from the local parts store

 

Damn need to edit this post but can't...what I meant was the drain plug on the primary chain housing....had tranny on my mind because I just finsished servicing my 84 FLH

 

 

White teflon tape and a new o ring.

Just don't post a pic of her/him... Ask Spanners about being banned for a couple weeks....

 

Holy p h u c k . Just realized what I had posted

 

I use a little bit of liquid Teflon pipe thread sealant on all 3 plugs. They don't haft to be that tight then.

 

If it's an Evo, the tranny and primary are 1/8-27 NPT pipe plugs. Use Teflon pipe sealant or Teflon tape or Hylomar on the threads, and don't overtighten them.

 

Mine leaked. Bought a new drain plug, and put some Teflon goop on it. Torqued to spec. Good to go now, no leaks.
