Does anyone know if the '15 drain plug is the same size as the '14?
Changed my oil the other day, and I have no idea how I would safety wire the factory one!

I haven't looked at it but if its flush like the Ducati ones you can put a blob of silicon or some other sealant on it and most tech inspections will be OK with that.

You can drill 1.5 mm hole through the side of that flat head or get a pre-drilled titanium one from Pro-Bolt

90% of the Yamaha bikes have the same drain plugs thread and there is no logical reason why the 2015 model would be any different and requiring a 'special" plug. You can measure it to be sure but I bet my pinky it is M14x1.5

it is the same. I had an original R6 drain bolt cuz I picked up an aluminum magneted one for it, so I did my 1st service today and while I had it off, I checked (and put it in cuz it's already drilled for safety wire) they are the same threads

Could also use the stahlbus drain kit. With the race cap. Its drilled for wire.

Where did you get the aluminum plug? thanks.

Thanks man? I ordered a drain plug for a '14 and it worked perfectly

The manual says there are two parts, the drain bolt and the washer. It doesn't seems to have a washer on mine or is it on the case?
Thanks guys.

Mine was missing the washer too. I discovered it was missing was when I was draining the oil for the first time. Of course I didn't pick up a replacement so I just put the plug back in without it and and I haven't had any drips. I'll pick one up for my next oil change and just keep an eye on it for now.

You're probably fine, just be sure not to over tighten.

I think the washer is not missing, it's on there perhaps seized or welded oor welded on there.
I have torque wrench and will apply the 17 ft pound recommender torque.

we just bought a replacement one from PRO BOLT.

It came pre-drilled and everything.
