The plug that you take out to check oil pressure of the engine broke today from being over torqued. I can't for the life of me find the part number or the proper name for it?
It came off at 2004 Ninja and is the bolt below the crankcase and to the left of the water pump. It has the wire that runs through it and connects it to the water pump bolt too.
Anyone know the proper name and/or part number for this?
There is a bolt on the right side engine case of the 500 that looks like the oil drain plug but is not. This bolt exists only for manufacturing testing purposes and should not be removed as it will break.
That is the plug you must never try to remove, it will break every time, the one you want is in the other side with a wire on it.
Not sure if you will ever find a good one.

After reading the whole topic on How to Degree your Cams, I wanted to check the cam timing on my GPZ500. In the topic it is stated that the cams are symmetrical. That is why it is easy to find the lobe center. But after looking at the cams in my GPZ, the do not seem to be symmetrical at all...
