In TX, I'm planning on riding throughout the winter, but still need to drain my engine after use since I have no electricity in my storage for a heat light... and we do occasionally get below 32 for a while... when removing the plugs last week, I noticed they were a little scored and roughed up from my wrench and the threads (guess the engine threads were rusty)... I'm gonna get a wire (gun cleaning) brush and clean the engine threads, try to keep them from rusting more... Where can I get an extra set of engine drain plugs to have for backup? are they a standard thread size... auto part store, dealer, online... Also thought about the petcock route, but read about potential rust blockage... so I'll wait on that...
