Oil Tank Plug Size

[wavemaster]

Does anyone know the spec of the oil tank plug?

I want to get a remote for it like one of these but I need the thread size.

Ah! Good idea! Should help keep that a much cleaner job.

FREE TIP:


I took a 1 liter pop bottle and it in. 1/2 from top to bottom and it fits up through the front hole in the running board perfectly. You also have to take the 4 screws that hold the toe guard in place so you can get in under the drain, but it super easy. I drained the oil in our 2 vipers this weekend, didn't spill a drop of oil and enjoyed a soda also!

It will not spin in. There is a pressed in line that it will interfere with spinning it in.

I'm working on a solution.

It will spin in fine, you just need a nipple.

Wish I would have seen this before I came to work....I'm betting it is M10 x 1.5

It's M12 1.25 or the F103.

The stem will hit the pressed in steel tube. It needs to be extended lower. Once extended it is too close to the frame. There is a lobe of metal directly below. I've had this mocked up on mine. I can only assume that Cat used the same oil tank on their Zuki sleds? This one really could have used some more thought in the engineering process.

Project underway and if it works I'll be signing on to TY to sell them.

Thanks,

I'm probably a month away from my next change, if you have one available, it will save me from making one up.
