i cant seem to get my frame slider bolt out of my bike. it took a roll and broke of the plastic slider and bent the bolt back. was going to weld another bolt to the bent bolt that is stuck in to get it out. any other ideas?

 

come on now i know other folks have had this happen before.

 

bend it back and take it out

 

tried that ended up crakin my mount on my frame bolt is ground down where i cant get a grip on it it any kind of wrench.

 

drill it out and weld up that crack

 

secret to drilling...... drill speed low......push hard....lubricate so you dont dull the bit

 

is that bolt going into the motor is it just in the frame? haven't got that far along into the repair mode.

 

dont know what kind of bike you have but motor mount bolts do go to the motor... lol

 

it happened to me twice, i cut the slider off with a grinder then the top of the bolt cause there was no way to bend it back then used vice grips to keep turning the bolt out. in the end i fucked up the threads on the engine and had to use a helicoil kit to rethread it good luck hope this helps

 

ya think i have fuc*ed up the threads aswell, but hope not.

 

use a pipewrench on it if you have enough sticking out it works much better that vice grips

 

didnt think of that, got one in the shop will see how it works :YEAH

 

It IS also your motor mount bolt right ???
Did you loosen the pinch bolts before you tried loosening the motor mount bolt ??

 

? really don't know to much bout it. it was a plastic frame slider. slider broke off and bent and ground down the head of the bolt. could i use a cutter socket to get it off?

 

Yeah loosen the pinch bolts, should come out pretty easy. Sounds like you still got them tight!

 

If you didn't loosen the pinch bolts, STOP !! It's like your front wheel axel has pinch bolts to hold it secure so does the motor mounts. Check it before you wreck it.

 

how?

 

It is directly benieth that frame slider bolt ( engine mount ) Facing downwards.Get down on your knees and tilt your head side ways I'll take a pic tomorow. Take ur faring off and look. If it's your gixxer that your talking about and you don't know what the pinch bolts are then you deff. didn't loosen them first and it aint coming out. And you didn't put them on either

 

i did put them on and done all the other work on my bike as well. this is my first one so its a learnin thing here. but i will get it off maybe not as fast as some folks but i'll get i. guess its like everyone that starts stuntin or wantin to stunt can't just jump on the bike and bam ya a stunter i know that so thats why i try. thanks for all the help!
