06 zx10r oil leak!!!!!

[wesmith443]

So now the liter bike is dripping from the oil plug. I was hoping it was and easy fix and changed that metal washer/gasket but no luck. Im thinking the oil pan will need to be changed next. I cant see it drip but after an hour or so you can see a penny size puddle underneath the bike. The thing is that the plug protrudes so far down it catches everything with the street fairings on. Anyone with this bike had this problem?

don't have the same bike, but have u tried a new drain plug? they can easily get stripped

Not yet. I didnt think it could be the drain plug because I can get it torqued to spec. Someone told me thay had this problem with the same year zx14 and the pan cracked at the threads. I will check it out later.
