Rounded bolt brigade
Hi, I'm newly the owner of a 1980 XS400 and brand new to this forum (obviously). I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and your various links to manuals and tech advice has already proven helpful. Now I have a specific question: are there differences in thread pitch or diameter for the oilpan drain plugs from year to year? The plug on my bike is a ruin and needs to be drilled out and replaced, but I don't want to do that until I have a part to replace it. PartsNMore has a drain plug listed but marks it as being for 82-84. I can't fathom why there'd be a difference, but otherwise, why would they mark it? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
