Thanks,
I appreciate the info.i bought the bike used from a BMW dealer and went to change the oil at 3600 miles and found the pan drain stripped and held in with silicone. I am fortunate that it never leaked and didn't burn the motor up. Dealer of course would not help and said it didn't have any warranty when sold, which it didn't, and only offered to fix it if I paid the full parts and labor cost. Decided to fix it myself and not go back to them ever again.just got the parts wanted to make sure on the gasket.
Thanks,
Barender
