I dunno - I stripped a screw hanging up a TV on the wall - got an extractor kit - broke that sucker off.

Finally I resorted to taking a grinder to the offending screw!

So I know how frustrating a botched screw can be but I wouldn't sell my bike over it! give it a day or two to calm down is all i'd say.

 

paint will seal it up too, fyi.

you are right, your bike is a piece of **** and I will take it off your hands. send me a pm. what state are you in

 

yeah i know about them.. Ill just order them this weekend. and scrape off all the sealent. Anyways how do i get my stator covor off now sense their is a liquid gasket? do i hit it with a rubber mallet im pretty sure that thing will me sticky. Also how do i know which helicoil to use? what size tap to use, also what size drill?

 

a screw driver and mallet will get if off... once its off u will have to scrape both surfaces to get all the rvt off...

 

Bi-polar, anyone?

 

But wouldnt te screw driver scratch or dent the part where the stator covor attaches to? i dont know what it's called. Also how do i know which helicoil to use? Do they come in sizes?

 

lol im just mad cause i aleady ripped the stator covor off this past month! and the gaskets are a pain..

 

Good maintenance goes a long way dude. Take your time and do it right the first time.

 

yeah dont sell your bike if you dont have too. trust me. i had to sell my 900rr and i regret it. course it did have a cracked block a bad stator and needed 2 tires. plus i was almost a month behind on bills. in the end my credit was more important.. plus the guy i sold it to seems to be having a hard time selling it. guess i made a good decision but in your case. just helicoil it. im guessing its either 10mm or 8mm.

 

I hope you arent talking about a new R1. I'd take the CBR's beak over the R1's bug eyes 24/7/365. But I always have liked the 2006 Specials.
