Ttaskmaster Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator mervin Posted January 15, 2009 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilninggas Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
