    hi lads. I have a K1 GSXR 750 with stripped sump threads. Anyone know where I can get this repaired. I've tried the major bike shops in Dublin but none of them are mad on doing the job. If anyone knows of a workshop that can sort this out for me could you please recommend.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you remove it yourself any decent engineering shop could fit a helicoil insert surely?

    Can the sump itself be removed separately on a motorcycle engine? I'd think the helicoil would be fitted with the engine (and sump) in situ.

    As you say, most engineering shops should be capable.

    Not your ornery onager

    sump can be removed and ideally should be so the helicoil goes in perpendicular to the sealing face (else the plug won’t seal)

    If the sump comes off, I'd get a new boss welded in tbh.

    from a quick google of the part

    It looked to me like the sump comes off so the busted thread would be in the crankcase would it not?

    unless he is talking about the oil drain plug threads ?
