Bleed screw fixes.
 
Hi guys - I know this is a boring topic but my bike , just over 2 yrs old and dealer serviced till now, is leeking oil from the bleed screw.
On investigation I find that the thread is stripped, the Yamaha trained mechanic managed to botch the job and didn't bother to fix it. That dealership closed down just after servicing my bike so I can't just take it back.
The question is do I have to get this helicoiled or does someone know a way of sealing in the bolt with minimum hassle. I'm basically a lazy sod who would rather have a quick but effective fix if that is possible.
Thanks for taking the time to read this - any suggestions welcome.

Cheers.

Just tap M6 into the original M5 hole. Or, buy a new cover. Not very expensive.

Yep that might be the way to do it. Get a replacement cover and fix the old one then I can swap back and forth as required.
Cheers.
