I just got my bike, 2000 R1, and went to give it an oil change. Don't laugh, I am retarded, but I loosened up the plug to the coolant, saw a green trickle, knew what I did (hey a saw a pic that showed an 04 getting an oil change and showed the plug in a different area, so I was just experimenting, I did end up giving it an oil change just fine) anyways, I went to tighten it back up an the freakin thing broke inside, the top came off in my wrench. I tried to use an extractor, but I can't drill cause its at an ange. its leaking a little, I was thinking of saying f@*k it adnd trying JB weld but I don't think it will work. I am pretty sure I can replace the entire pience, I think it just connects the hoses, its a brass color.....but I really would rather not if possible. :dundun: I'm so stooooopid...... anyone, any idea, suggestions???????

If I remember right there are two places to drain the coolant. You can JB it if you want.. (dont sue me). I had the problem of when I was going to water wetter the bottom drain plug got stripped so I just left it and drained from the upper one then just ran water through the system until nothing but clear was coming through. So I never really needed that one bolt anyways.
