I'm pissed off about this problem with my 400ex. I was going to simply change the oil. I've done it dozens of times, but this time something went wrong.
I pulled out my wrench, put it on the drain bolt. As soon as I started to push on the wrench....SNAPPP! Oil started running out of the tank. The bolt didn't brake or anything just snapped the whole piece off. There is a jagged inch wide hole in my oil tank.
HAS anyone had this problem before?? I was just wondering if it is common.
I barely even pushed on it and it broke, I workou and all but i'm not that strong...LOL!
Anyway i asked my honda dealer how much for a new one and he said $170. So, i was looking online and found one that holds a quart more oil than stock for $175. What kind of tanks do you guys recommend? Where can they be purchased?
THANKS
