Stripped Treads in Yoke XT600E 1994
Came to adjust the front wheel / handle bar alignment and the found that the muppet who restored the bike had just epoxyed in a head of a cap screw the sheared tread of the old bolt still in the yoke
I’ve drilled and tried two types of stud extractor, heat, oil repeat etc no joy. Have now tried drilling the stud out, nearly got it, drill broke!
Any ideas? I could try a helical insert and smaller bolt, if I can get a drill in there again
If I can find a second hand top yoke in good condition I’ll go that route. Can’t seem to find a matching one, mine has the ignition switch mounted to one side (no rev counter) anybody know if the yoke from other models will fit without having buy a new ignition switch / steering lock.
any comments
