Well a simple oil change turned into needed a new oil pan for me this weekend. My drain plug was on over 80 ftlb. I wasn't able to get it to loosen at all, but I ended up getting it tighter and snap all the treads popped. I called the dealer and trailered the bike up there and explained what happened to the dealer. Then I showed them what was left of the oil filter after I had to go out and buy a vise grip oil filter remover. They are replacing the pan, gasket, and plug for the cost of the first inspection.
Who's responsible for tightening the drain plug and filter in the first place? The dealership or Yamaha?
Man I'm so happy that the weather has been sucky the last couple days or I really would be peeed. I mean I'm of course really responsible for all of this, but I can't believe that someone would put both the plug and filter on that tight.
