Hi folks. I have a 1998 Yamaha V Star 650 classic. I’ve had it for a year and I enjoy the bike. When I changed the oil a few months back I’d notice an oil smear to the left of the oil cover. Today I took the oil cover off, put a new filter on and started tightening the bolts to spec.
When I got to the long bolt I felt a snap. I pulled the bolt out and I could tell I broke the threads inside.
my question is: can I tap new threads without worrying about going through the housing? Should I remove the crank housing when I tap the threads? Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thank you for the help
