Sump pan

Aw mate I don't envy you ! Have you ever had success with the extractors?
Nothing worse than having one of them little buggers snap off in the bolt your trying to extract !

I've broke a few on the airplanes that I work on, for the most part they hold up.

I noticed that Triumph seems to have high torque values for most items. Especially the spark plugs, cam cover, oil sump blanking plugs, and most plastic items attached to the bike. When installing OEM parts on bike, I initially set torque wrench to recommended setting and when I get that feeling that it might strip (anyone who has torqued something down knows the feeling), I reduce the torque value by 15% and retorque to that value. I would rather it come loose than strip or break!

I would say 'bad luck'; but I don't think thats the case.
I snapped one of mine torquing it down last week, so I think Triumph needs to re-engineer the bolt vs torque spec.
I was 'lucky' and had a mm or so sticking out of the engine case to get it out. Picked up a M6x1x25 bolt @ home depot.
When I reinstalled I set them just tight then a half turn. Kept an eye open for leaks and with several hundred miles on her now I'm comfortable with the install.

Ordered a couple of replacement bolts from 2wheelpros along with a new crush washer. T3202303 Triumph BOLT,RHHF,M6X1.0X28,SLV $1.54 - 2WheelPros

Feel for you man, hope you get it back on the road soon.

some times u can use a wooden dowel or plastic to put pressure on it turn it out kind of like u can use a potato to remove a broken light bulb.
also if that don't work after u center punch it try again. then if that fails i use a left hand drill and some times that works.
next is the easy outs.i use rod*****stock# 100 sizes 1/8 thru 13/32 .
if all that fails u can drill it out (hopefully u centered it good and drilled it straight. if not the drill will want to drill the aluminum instead of the bolt.) but u still can use a heli coil and still be ok.
what i do is put a long bolt in another hole to use as a guide (for lining it up) as a line up for drilling. hth

All pretty hard to do whilst working under the bike !

i would get some help and lay it on its side before i start to center punch.

I felt that exact thing, and kept going, like an idiot! I'm scared to torque things on this bike now.

Does anyone know what particular part number I need for the short bolts, it shows two lengths on the cal moto IPC. It shows an m6x25, and a m6x28.
