Was out in the forestry a few weeks ago, along a path which was overgrown with grass.
Going fairly slowly when the front wheel dropped and then the whack you feel and hear when something goes wrong
The bike ground out on a hidden large rock. I felt it through the seat and footpegs.
So had a look in the forestry and the sump plug was a bit mashed, but it seemed OK.
next morning I went to the bike and there was a pool of oil under it. Oh Duck
Had a better look and the sump plug was loose. The impact had turned it in the loose direction.
So a new sump washer and some oil and it was good as new. It must have been my lucky day.
Have a Scheffelmeier bashplate coming for it now which should be better than the plastic job.
Any low profile sump plugs with magnets on the market? Might just take a skim off the original? any thoughts appreciated
