I recently bought a lightly used CB300R in great shape. Only 2,200 miles and I managed to pick it up for a pretty good price. There seems to be only one problem. The PO had the dealership perform the first oil change and they really torqued the drain bolt down to the point when the owner went to perform the second oil change the bolt broke and cracked the case. Again, I bought it this way and the seller simply wanted to offload it instead of dealing with the damage.
I understand replacing the side of the case is the right way to fix this but im open to some other ideas. Ive had experience with Helicoiling and retapping before but not on a bolt this big.
With the cracks, I was thinking that maybe steel stick a Fumoto valve would work as well.
