    Anyone know the dia. and pitch of the front gear oil filler plug?

    As I parked my bike after my ride home today, i smelled the distinct and foul odor of gear oil. Turns out my front filler plug wiggled its way out some time today, and I need an emergency replacement. Does anyone have one off a parts bike they are willing to sell?

    TIA

    Well, turns out the oil drain plug from an old VW 2.0 16v engine I have laying around is the right size. 12x?? It'll work for now.

    Anyone with a spare engine laying around want to sell the filler plug?????

    Please!

    Any hardware store should have that size bolt (In the metric section) if you can find one short enough. Or you may have to cut one shorter and dress the threads before attempting to screw it in.
