Since you haven't got any replies yet...

The first thing I would do is purchase a new drain bolt and sealing washer.

Use either a thread chaser or a tap of the correct size in an effort to fix the threads in the drain plug hole. Don't force it if the tap bottoms out on metal in your crankcase.

If this doesn't work, you should be able to use a heli-coil insert of the correct size to fix it.

You might want to call your dealer and ask them what they would recommend before you do anything to it. They've probably fixed the same problem plenty of times.

HTH,

Or get a helicoil for the stripped hole.
