Posted January 15, 200916 yr trying to replace the main switch, can anyone help by telling me how to remove the retaining screws from the upper steering mount as they apear to have flush heads on them
January 15, 200916 yr Insert screwdriver, turn anti-clockwise, usually. No offense, but which of the 1.6 million bikes in the UK is your one? You haven't specified Photos would be good if you have any. Then we could see what you mean.
January 15, 200916 yr Moderator Centre punch and tap them anti clock wise. If that fails drill heads off and turn remains of bolt after removing switch with mole grips Merv
January 15, 200916 yr usually you have to drill them out with a bloody good bit, very slowly. youll need to replace them with shear-bolts as well. You may have get loads of stuff out of the way (poss fairing, mudgaurd, rad etc) depending on the bike. A light bike you could flip over if you removed the fluids. the reasuring bit is its quite tough, so its likely to deter amateur thieves.
