Thread: safety wiring?

One of the screws that holds your water pump to the case is actually the drain plug... usually it's the lowest one. Should be the same as Purpdust's 750 which we drained before Grattan '06. Don't forget to crack open the rad cap to let air move through.

Thanks, I'll check that out. Sounds easier than pulling the hose off.

Careful with the bolt. It should have a copper washer on it.

You should be able to reuse it but it's always good to have an extra on hand just in case.

Thanks! The other good thing about getting a Suk is that the dealer's only 15 mins from my house and usually has a lot of common parts in stock!

Strange that you don't have a tab close to the drain plug. The SV has one.

Yeah, I was surprised, given that it's basically easier than the Honda to prep for trackdays. I'll have to look again, but I didn't see anything close. I don't want to drill bolts, as I'm planning on getting the Ed Bargy kit, but perhaps I could get some of those safety wire "tang" washers or something.
