stripped oil drain plug

What size is that thing? I was using a 10mm hex head bit socket (or whatever you call it) which felt a little loose. Is it 11mm? It took me a while to even find a 14mm for the side one for the screen.

$10 bucks and in a month or so I should have a new one! Unless the month long vacation party is coming up, then who knows how long it will be.

I sure hope I can get it out. I am scared to even try. Luckily it was while putting it on and not taking it off. Good for another 2500 miles or so anyway. Is that how long you guys are going between oil changes?

As often as I remember, usually about 1k to 1500 miles. I think I let my DRZ go 4k once. No problems though.
