Broken Oil Drain Plug

[hydrophantom]

While screwing on the drain plug it broke off. Now i cant plug it and i have part of the plug stuck in the cylinder. now i have the spring the mesh sticking out.

Anyone know what is best to do? I for sure have to find a new part but now theres no oil in the motor. Are these drain plugs easy to find as its a same part on other scooters/bikes?

also is the mesh filter, spring and plug 3 different parts or anyone know its bought all together.

I do not know if i understand correctly, but seems to me you are talking about the filter cover, not the drain plug. Lot of Honda motorcycle use them as valve lash adjustment covers, so they should be in stock on most dealers, and the filter (or mesh) and the spring come separately

Sorry for my use of wrong terms as im not that technical when it comes to these thigns. I went to a parts dealer and they said it was the valve cap that was needing to be replaced. I ended up getting the needed parts and used a needlenose pliers to turn the broken threaded cynlinder. lucklily there was a notch where it broke off and it was easy to rotate out.
