I changed the spark plugs yesterday... put the rest of the bike back together started it up and it was running sweet. Patted myself on the back, and decided to change the oil.

I noticed the sump plug was very tight, and had a different washer than the normal sealing washers. I drained the oil, took the a new sealing sump washer and put it on the plug started to torque it down. Before I got anywhere near the specified torque, my sump got two hairline cracks on both sides of the plug hole.

Then I cried...

Anyone know if the sump can be fixed or if I need or can get a new one for a 2001 ... dealers closed today and its driving me nuts.
