This weekend, I decided to change oil, spark plugs, clean front sprocket etc on the busa. After putting all fairings back on the bike, I had one last hex bolt to install to be complete with the project.
Here comes the stupid part... The last bolt i attempted to put in was the hex bolt in the center of the right fairing. For some reason the bolt would not go in straight, no matter how hard I tried. I made the dumb decision of trying to force it to thread the bolt in cross threaded, believe me, I know this was dumb, but i made one of those decisions. needless to say, the bolt snapped off sheer with the frame. Now I have a bolt cross threaded into the frame with no idea of what to do to repair this.
Has anyone else ever done something this stupid or have any suggestions on removal/repair?
Thanks in advance!
