Posted October 22, 200816 yr Just bought an SR 125. It needs a little bit of work, SO went to remove the exhaust, The blot at the back of the bike, just below the foot peg has rounded so it aint coming off. Anyone got any hints on how to remove it? Also, before i bought it, one of the bolts which mounts the exhaust into the manifold also sheered so it looks like i need to drill it out, any advice on it?
October 22, 200816 yr Author Hi Steve, post some pics of the problems! Will do when i get a chance. Bike is down at my mates garage. I've had a think and it looks lik i'll need to take off the rear wheel and shocks and use an angle grinder to take it off. As for the front that has sheered its looking like drilling it! But i'll get pics up asap!
October 22, 200816 yr Anyone got any hints on how to remove it? If you have one tool in your box (Oh 'er missus) then it has to be one of these, they hold anything and are especially good at getting hoold of rounded bolts. In fact they will hold anything, wet, dry, greasy, oily, rusty - as long as it's hard basically. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...396fc86ffdd9c87 Best £20 you'll ever spend!

They look a good bit of kit. Think i'll be investing in them!
