Have replaced and fitted the battery, and the bike now starts perfectly!

In the prcoess of putting the riders seat back on to the bike, I have managed to snap the head off the bolt that holds the seat in place.

I can now lift the seat off the bike withou any issues. Great for maintainence, crap for security!

Any ideas on the best way to remove a broken bolt, as I wanna come out and play on saturday!

Thanks,

Chris

Get down to a motor factors and get yourself something like this

is it just the head that has snapped off ? if it is, you should be able to get some mole grips on what’s left to turn it.If it’s snapped flush, then you’ll need to extract it with an easy-out or summat or drill it.
At least it’s in a nice accessible place…

If you have a bit of bolt still sticking out, file a flat on one side and use Mole grips.

If its flush you may be able to tap it round with a small punch.

Failing that you need to drill the middle of the bolt out with ever increasing diameter drills.

Or, Gaffa tape the seat on;):cool:
