Bung Hole Blow Out

After being hyper-active this weekend, I found the plug at the right rear of the crankcase pushed out and askew. It's the one directly behind the rear master cylinder.

This incident led to my first look at the OE "tool" kit. No 8mm anything included and the rear master was in the way of reseating the ribbed rubber seal completely around the perimeter. Needless to say, I had to abort my ride and return home.

Just wondering if others have had this issue and if it reoccurs?

and...you didn't even thank me for the setup

There were lots of visits to redline on last nights rip on a closed section of the BRP. I'm happy to report that mine remains properly plugged afterwards. Cannot imagine what caused it to dislodge in the first place.

Yeah, good set up. My bunghole usually gets tighter around redline also. Sometimes gets some cloth gasket material pinched in there too.

Sorry, couldn't help it.
