If leak is considerable, you may want to place a bowl underneath bike or empty the Oil-Sump.

Can you post a pic of the drain-bolt area? Isn't that Bolt replaceable along with a plate/cap that comes with it?

Re: Engine Oils



This is the drain bolt it comes with a washer only. No plates or caps

Get it replaced as soon as possible. Take it to ASC. It can come out during normal riding on and that will be a problem.

Replace what? Problem is with the internal threads on casting not with the bolt

Then perhaps the bolt-threads are on the softer side. You can drain the oil and check
- bolt threads
- drain hole threads

If only bolt threads are gone then you're in luck, get a new drain-bolt. (good design)
If only drain-hole threads are gone then you may have to seek professional lathe worker for rethreading. (bad design)
If both are gone then same rethreading & bigger bolt. (bad design)

PS: I've not seen Xtreme's drain bolt in person, just trying to help.

Manufacturers ought to address frequent problems in their subsequent designs.

Problems like somebody over-tightening the drain-bolt (with/without proper knowledge) and causing thread loss.

I had the same problem with my impulse. I took it to ASC and they replaced the bolt. No leaks after that. Costs only 30 or 40 Rs. First line of action is to take your bike to service centre as soon as possible.

Get the hole re-tapped to take a bigger bolt.

Re: Engine Oils

Sump bolts are often softer than the sump material so they strip first. (Good design)
Also... Are you sure it's the right bolt in there. I had a dealer do this on my car suspension. The bolt turned freely, in the end it was cause the bolt was 1mm too small

I think you should first purchase new drain bolt and see if whether it solves the problem, if not then using of helicoil is another option for repairing damaged threads the repair is ultrastrong and everlasting.
