last week i picked up a 2005 Polaris Predator 500 Troy Lee Design. This weekend i changed the coolant, and was going to change the oil. Go to loosen the oil tank drain screw and it's stripped, will not unscrew. Fine.. Ill order another oil tank off of eBay for $30.00
unscrewed the crankcase drain plug, drained the oil, went to tighten the plug back up, and come to find out the threads are fucked. Alum motor and steel drain plug, common ATV problem.
So, Who is good at thread repair using a Time-Sert? I called Action in Waukesha, they said $105-$125 + parts to repair, Called Don and Roy's, didn't like the service dudes attitude, so F em.
There is straight access to the drain plug.
