What are the measurements on the stock drain bolt for the 250?

I'm looking into something like this:

would be rather convenient for oil changes and those times when you have to pull the engine apart 6 times to troubleshoot a problem.

i was informed it was 14 x 1.25. I figured i would post up for anyone else that might be curious.

I'd be scared of it getting broken off, or possible the threads ripped out of the cases.

I guess it depends what king of riding you do but that setup is just begging to get broken off.Like I said may work but no way I,d run it.

Gillio · « **Reply #4 on:** November 16, 2012, 08:35:59 am »

I bet you'd be ok if you cut off the nipple for the hose or if you run a skid plate.

Yuzuha32 · « **Reply #5 on:** November 16, 2012, 09:57:45 am »

i'm running a skid plate. i shouldn't have any clearance issues. i'm going to put my own together. The company that makes the couplers; aeroquip is right down the road from me. so i'm going to see what they have to work with.

Gillio · « **Reply #6 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:56:05 am »

I'd be in for one, But the previous owner of my cases Tapped the threads to a huge size

Plus I keep my 250 on the flat track away from rocks and roots.

I looked at that gear and im impressed.> my thoughts are that 14 by 1.25 sounds to fine for an aluminum block. I would have thought the 14 by 1.5 would have been correct. Anyway you should pick up a plastic universal thread/bolt hole gauge somewhere with the hole sizes in it. I like it 10 times more than the metal jackknife type thread gauges, I rarely use those.

Anyway nice find there> can you tell us how it fits? looks like it should clear the skid plate.

i would love an upddate on this!!! i tried to baby my treads as long as i could but they finally pulled out

Yuzuha32 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 24, 2012, 11:40:07 am »

i haven't made it down to aeroquip yet but i'll be sure to post pics when i get everything installed.

Derrik · « **Reply #11 on:** December 01, 2012, 02:46:11 am »

k well looking at the measurements on the sit,it jumps from 14mmm to 20 mm. which means if i pulled my stock 14mm threads out i either tap to 20mm,or threadsert some 14mm threads back in there.
my question is how many of you have seen threadserts leak when used to repaired drain plugs?

or should i just tap to another size drain plug and be done with it?

so i stumbled into a local autoparts store curious what i could do for my stripped out bolt hole,instead of the standard "spring" type heli coil the guy had this awesome kit for doing spark plugs.its more of a threaded sleeve.it comes with a tap thats specially designed to fit "original" threads and it automatically bores and cuts in new threads for the insert.best news is the insert fits original drain plug.it may be a couple weeks before i get this kit and do it but ill be sure to post pics!

Looks like you need both pieces male and female $65 bucks for oil change?

but mitch! its anodized! and shiny! and im told it adds 55.8hp and the main reason is cuz racebike!

i think its a great idea,a bit over priced,but guaranteed not to strip anymore threads. and its just convenient.

Hey i used the same kit your talking about.It has worked good for me.The only down fall was they said to use grease on the end of the cutter,Your shifting drum is right their and all the metal shaving got stuck to my shifting drum so i had to take apart the motor and clean it,but i havent had any problem since then.Also use the small coil .you have 2 little hole in your side case that drain the oil from the tranny and clutch sides.2 long and they willl not drian .

The drain plug is the same size as the spark plug in these motors.14mm 1.25 Thread
