[QUOTE="Frosty_Power, post: 1347344, member: 104355"] I recently purchased a 99 CR125 and was told by the previous owner that there is a very slow leak in the transmission oil bolt and mentioned he believed it was cross threaded. I removed the bolt yesterday and to my surprise, the steel neck where the bolt goes in was half missing. Looked like it cracked off. Not sure if I am explaining this in detail but if I tighten the bolt back up, I could see some threads on one side cause the thread neck is sheared off. I didn't know what else to do, so I took some thread tape and proceeded to put the bolt back on and fill up my oil. Ran the bike for 15 minutes and checked for leaks. No leaks yet and checked this morning and was dry. I was hoping to go out for a trail ride this weekend. Am I safe to do so? What are my options to get this fixed? I was thinking of bringing my bike to a machinist to fix. Any suggestions or feedback? Thanks in advance and also, this is my very first post, been hanging around here for awhile getting great info. Great site! [/QUOTE]
