Found the former owner had done a nice strip job and put it back in with locktite paste..What is the size of the kit I need?
Thanks,

I believe they sell a combo kit and i think they might switch a few out if you need a special size. they are nice folks.

I had to do my drain plug on my old tuber. The drain plugs are the same on the XB's primary and swingarm drains aswell. Here's the kit I used. The Timesert kits are expensive but are the only way to repair the drain plugs in my opinion.

Cheers

I got a new Timesert kit on ebay for $99, which I think is $10-20 cheaper than list price.

Then someone has to resurrect it...
