    Was trying to fit my pipe today and have snapped one of the screws which attaches the pipe to the engine.

    Any ideas how i could get it out? Was gonna try to drill it out but i only have a side stand atm and i cant get the drill underneath

    thanks

    lie the bike down on a matress or something soft, and drill it out

    or just get a 70 kit.

    My mates had this happen on his SR50, someone wants 150 quid to do that, then again he paid someone 200 quid to fix his brake light and tighten his head bearings :w00t:

    then the exhaust port snapped about a month later.

    No luck for me :( i now have a hole in the middle of my screw though lol.

    And i would send it but i dont wanna take my engine apart atm, was only meant to be a quick pipe swap lol.

    Im considering wheeling it down to my local garage and seeing if they'll sort it for me
