Sump Plug Loose!

[nikos]

300 miles since a service at a Motorrad dealer somewhere near, and I discover a pool of fresh oil in the sump guard.

It turns out that the sump plug was loose - is this normal?

It's normal if your plug isn't tightened...

Don't think I've ever had a sump plug that loosened itself off. You have checked the other things they meddled with?

Or asked them to come and check it over?

More of these pesky half arsed thieves have moved from the 1200 section.

Has it got copperslip on it

Erm.... don't tell me...... let me think....... Williams, Manchester?

Blue Bell?

Had they put a new aluminium crush washer on it and had it been crushed?

Blue Bell?

It could be corrosion then.... Bluebell been closed for ages.

What about the Chester one then? Or hasn't it opened / started servicing yet

No not Manchester (although I had my old bike serviced there before selling it - the new owner discovered the air filter almost completely blocked - not bad for a £200 service bill!).
This was Oxford where I bought the bike from.....

Your location of Knutsford?

Oh, Oxford..... I have no bad experiences of them...... unlike Williams Manchester.
Bluebell were fine and so has been Chester Motorrad so far.......

It's obvious they ain't tightened the sumpnut to the correct torque.
Flame them!
