Like Slob says, if the thread is stripped then a helicoil repair is a relatively common solution that any decent workshop will be familiar with, and shouldn't be too expensive.
I would think that the head will most likely have to come off to do it, but you never know, with the piston at tdc they might even be able to do it in situ and hoover out the metal chippings from recutting the thread......???
I'm glad you've kept the name.
Ordinarily, I never give my bikes a name, but I can understand it for a 750 monster .....somehow they have a particularly strong personality that requires a more personal relationship.
As such, mine seems to have acquired the name Rose (though I never call her by name, and I'm not even sure that she's female).
The name Ruby does (rather appropriately) suggest jewel-like qualities.
Hope you get her sorted without too much trouble.
