does anybody have any idea how i remove the ignition barrel from the top yoke in the manuel it says they should be size 6 torque bolts but on mine its like a dome shaped head u can just make it out from the pic
i had the same on my R1, its what is left of a shear bolt as dougall said. i carefully drilled the head off and removed the remaining bit of stud with mole grips. replace with a std cap head. best to remove the top yoke complete with barrel and wiring (which itself may be a pain) to make drilling easier.
will get it in the vice and drill it tommorow the bike is stripped down anyway getting everything powder coated ready for the summer so its not to bad cheers lads
easiest way imo is drill a small pilot hole and then use a small stud extractor to wind it out. (the left hand thread jobbies, from any toolshop or halfrauds) give it a sharp tap downwards and they come out easy.
