how tight does it feel?
mine felt tight but i was like.. well if its knackered itl need a helicoil so i carried on, it wasnt tight tight but it felt like it was half a turn off being fully tightened and i got about 2 more turns and it was seated.
tip
put your finger on the drain hole on the side of the cylinder and spray some wd40 round the plug and start the bike, itll bubble if theres a leak.
im not saying do it but all i did was carried on tightening it up and now the threads fine.
