Stripped Final Drive Drain Threads

[SoCalR1200RS]

Thanks for the input gents. Seems like the best long term move would be a time-sert, however, as I'm imagining it, that repair is going to be quite involved. Wheel off, remove the final drive, and probably even open up the case, yeah? Otherwise, even if you can clamp it into a vise, how will you prevent metal shavings from remaining in the oil and damaging the gears?

It'll be a repair that will outlast the motorcycle, and I'd never have to worry about over-tightening again, but yeah, ball park estimate for a shop to do it I'm guessing like $100 parts and 2.5 HR labor?

Considering all metal thread insert repair kits require drilling out the remaining threads, I'm thinking about just reinstalling the plug as carefully and securely as I can manage, and if I feel comfortable, test riding and monitoring for leaks. If it's holding for now, that can buy me some time to find the best repair plan asap.
