    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil gallery plug 85 gs700

Hello out there,
I just recently replaced my oil pan and I put the oil gallery plug that is an allen wrench plug from the old pan into the new pan and when I fire the bike up I'm getting seepage of oil out of the area around this plug. This is the littlest plug in the oil pan and it is in the front left position of the oil pan right next to a larger bolt right behind it. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this seepage and if so, how did you correct it? It doesn't leak when the engine isn't running and I'm just wondering if I need a new plug or something else?
Thanks a bunch, I've learned so much here which has allowed me to keep this bike in top running condition and I always appreciate feedback!

Use a little teflon tape on it or thread sealer.
 
Great idea, thanks, I'll try that.

Great idea, thanks, I'll try that.

Will heat in this area eventually break this tape down, or does it seem to do the trick on down the road?
Thanks again!

The teflon will hold up. If it will work in a frying pan it will work for this.
 
Great point, thanks much!

Great point, thanks much!

Thanks again, I'm really excited to get on the road and test all of my other repairs.
Take care,

I'm oil free for now on the outside of the engine, so thanks again for the assist!
