Embarrassed to say I actually did that many years ago. Hard way to learn!!

mike the bike:
Don't remove it if you don't have to.

SumpMagnet:
I am considering whether or not to remove the one on my 750 while I have the cases apart, but am really concerned about chewing it up....as it's probably never been undone in the bikes 40+ year life. I can see the benefit of flushing out anything that would accumulate sludge and muck, but...can also see a nightmare of chewed ally and a plug that still didn't come out after I toasted the o-rings
Are they obtainable? I had a quick look and couldn;t see anyone selling them.

Clean the oil gallery, it's where most of the shite collects. I have the bungs in stock.
