Oil Drain Plugs Stripped

[TheFrenchCharlie]

Just purchased a new-to-me 2019 FTR1200S 2 weeks ago. - went to change the oil last week and both the drain plugs just spin in place, in both directions. after doing some research it sounds like Time-Sert is the way go as far as repair options are concerned, does anybody know what size kit matches these bikes? only info i've found so far was for the indian scout, not sure whether or not they share the same-spec drain plugs or not...

Is it the drain plugs that are stripped or are the threads in the cases stripped? Hopefully the plug threads are stripped. The plug sizes are listed as M12X1.50 15MM. I would replace with a good aftermarket drain plug. If the case threads are stripped, it is defiantly more difficult. I have never used Time Cert. I have always used Heli Coil due to their greater strength. I did this for my son's Yamaha YZ and it work fine but I had to pull the engine to do the work.
