    Bought a wrecked 08 ZX6R. It slid on the right side and the plug for the crankshaft bolt backed off. I've bought all the Woodcraft armor but I need to replace this plug. There is another plug for timing marks very close. These plugs are small, flat aluminum castings fitted with o-rings. They look like oversize, threaded thumb tacks and there's no way to drill them for safety wire. It seems like they could back out in racing situations. Is there some aftermarket solution for replacement plugs which could be safety wired? How does WERA specify the retention of these plugs? Thanks!

    Those are indeed hard to drill. Use a dab of RTV on each, that passes WERA tech.
