My bike is still OOS until furthur notice. Aurora may have to replace the motor cases because they cannot fix a leaking oil drain plug even after a helicoil. Still don't know why Suzuki didn't put a removable sump pan on these rigs. It would make my life so much easier right now. Will keep you updated.

There is guy up here in Aldergrove. His name is Wally Rutledge. He can fix your drain plug problem without removing engine from bike or replacing cases. He has developed a special tool using his vast experience as a machinist and motorcycle mechanic. The man has performed many miracles up here for all the local guy's. He would have your bike problem fixed in less than an 20mins. He showed me what he does, very simple but very clever.

Damn, missed the ride. Sorry fellas. I may be back on the road soon, however.
Gixxer160, thanks for the advice. Not sure where Aldergrove is in relation to Seattle otherwise I would have taken you up on the offer had you posted sooner. Nevertheless, the Suzuki dealer hired a machinist last week to drill and tap the drain plug to the next larger size. Looks like it's holding but the machinist used a fiber crush washer instead of an impermeable one (aluminum, copper etc). I was not happy with that solution and asked the dealer to find a soft metal alternative and see if that will hold. So for right now it's a waiting game.

Aldergrove is in BC just across the Sumas Border crossing, which is just north of Bellingham WA. I hope the fix you got continues to hold. Sorry I didn't get the info to you sooner. If you have any further problems let me know.
