BD125-10 Drain plug touches exhaust

TheGammaGhost · 08-12-2021, 12:26 PM

Hello, Got my Boom Vader gen 2 last week, Things awesome. I changed the shipping oil out right away, in that process I learned that the oil drain plug touches the exhaust that runs right under the drain plug. I had to loosen the header bolts and the support bolt to get the plug out. Does anyone know the Bolt size off hand? I should have measured it when I had it off but I was antsy to ride this thing. I'm Looking to buy a shorter bolt for it, unless someone has any other idea that could help, Thanks Guys!

So it appears to be a M12 x 1.5 x like 3 quarters of an inch long. Not sure how much shorter i will be able to go, hmmmmm

I wouldn't go with a shorter bolt. It'd be safer to modify your exhaust. I think you should have enough wiggle room to move the exhaust a little.
