Drain Plug
I just changed the fluid in the transmission and I seem to have a leak somewhere. \\; I was wondering if the drain plug needs anything on the threads or if there is a washer of some sort that the manual does not talk about? \\; The bike is a 2006 1200C and I have looked in the manual, but couldn't find anything.

RE: Drain Plug
If you over tighten the drain plug it will crack the case were the plug screws in. Ask me how i know this lol. Thats what happen to me anyway but i went an got some high temp silicone an put on it were it cracked an it stopped my leak. hopfully yours is not cracked might want to change it again an put a new o ring on it an maybe some pipe tape to. good luck either way \\;  \\;  \\;  \\;

RE: Drain Plug
Thanks for all of the responses. \\; I checked the manual again and it does not mention an O ring. \\; It had a leak already that now seems to be worse, so I took it into the shop. \\; They said that there is not an O ring on the 2006. \\; Hopefully they can get me on the right track. Once again, I appreciate the help.
