85sx oil drain plug broke inside of the case

[perptr8]

Hi,

I have an 04 KTM 85x that I recently bought used. I went to change the gear oil and removed the oil drain and it appears to only have 1 thread on the bolt. You can tighten it with your fingers but it won't stay snug. It appeared when I looked in the case that a piece was stuck inside so I tried to remove it but instead pushed it inside the case. Any ideas on how I can get this out?

If you mean a piece of the threads from the case
fell in, you won't be able to fish it out with a
magnetic retriever, it's non ferrous (magnesium on mine).

You are going to have to pull the cover #26.



You might be able to use this to fix the threads:
