The vendor is suggesting a M12.1x1.5x15mm is correct fitment. It's been a while since I double checked the thread size and pitch on the drain plug, so trust but verify.

This might be a more strait forward repair for someone not comfortable. @~TABASCO~ and I are machinists/fabricators and have done this stuff far too many times. It may be the OP's first time installing a thread repair kit. And it's cost effective.

For sure... I personally would not suggest this Amazon solution for this type application. Unless it was a "just get me home" emergency..... If the original person does not feel comfortable, suggest just throw a new one on...... (send me the old one so I can fix it and offer 'help' to someone else). Ha-Ha...

Considering the cost of the bike... taking it to a qualified repair shop might be a painful lesson that doesn't come back to haunt the owner later.

Most Honda ATV's use a 12mm drain plug. Over the years I've probably fixed several dozen stripped drain holes by tapping the hole with a 1/2x20 tap and putting in a 1/2" drain plug. When a 12mm drain hole is stripped out, it's just about the perfect size to tap to 1/2". If I ever have this problem, this is what I will do. JMO
