Like the title says, I am new to motorcycles and a proud new owner of a 2007 GS500. I got this bike just last week and have been happily ordering new parts and trying to service and cean her up before I get my license. I finally got the tools, oil, and filter delivered and decided to do an oil change today. After reading a lot of how to guides, to make sure I didn't mess anything up, I took my torque wrench and..I am still in disbelief this happend.. I stipped the oil drain plug. I am mortified and I almost cried. I have been so happy this past week because I have been THIS close to finally riding her and then I go and mess it all up. Being a little disoriented after I realize what happened (when trying to put the bike back in the garage before messing more up) I knocked her over and broke the brake lever! I can't believe my luck. So my question is: what do I do from here?
I hate the thought of doing the fix that involves carving out the oil drain hole and putting in a bigger plug. I also am afraid of just using one of those easy fix/temporary rubber plugs. Is there a better way? I tried looking for a bottom pan replacement and came up empty. Please help! I am freaking out right now. And I don't think I can sleep until I figure it out..
Thanks in advance
