After 20hours of usage i decide to change the oil/filter on my brothers 2012 YFZ450.The oil was much more dirty than what the dipstick showed.After drain the oil and changing the filter i screw the GYTR drain plug back only to twist it off :o| .After some thought i decide to cut a small notch across the part of the bolt inside the case with a small battery powered engraver(diamond tip).Then i stuck a flat blade screwdriver into the formed slot and to my surprise it unscrewed out pretty easy :jump: (beening magnetic helped).I replaced it with the original bolt and finished the task.Be very carrefully installing these GYTR bolts.Very little torque applied only.May install a new one in the future but on the other hand there was alot less metal dust on the end of the bolt.(forgive me for the out off focus pic)
