I was working on the bike (renewed timing chain) when I noted that the right side lower fix point for the fairing (RT) had a crack. Wanting to take the part of I tried to loosen the bolt, which is part of the bolts fixing the sump to the block. The bolt was so tight I wiped the allan key recess. Tried to hammer in a torx, but no joy. Tried a 'left thread' kind of tap, no joy. Heated it, no joy. ground a slot in the top to put a screwdriver in, no joy. Tried in impact screw driver, no joy. tried the last two with heat as well, no joy.
If I have to drill it out I have to lower the sump to get the remaining studd out, which means that the output shaft is no longer supported, which means the whole rear of the bike needs to come off if I'm not mistaking.........
Leaving as is is not an option, as meantime the fairing point has completely broken off.
A beautiful day here, not a happy one though!
