    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

i was replacing the stator on my 80 gs 750 when i broke the studs off flush inside the cover, i did a search on screw extractions and found nothing on how to remove a bolt broken off flush, this is a 6mm screw and like i said they are broken flush with the case, HELP
 
the bolt is broke in the cases,or under the stater cover?
take the stater off and remove it from whats left sticking out
if theres nothing left, you can weld a nut or washer to it/ then a nut to the washer,then back it out, this works well
 
If they are broken off flush in the case, get a set of left-handed/reverse drill bits. The flutes on the bit are cut in reverse of a regular bit. The trick is to start the bit perfectly centered on the broken bolt. Do your best to keep the drill straight and do not bugger up the threads in the case.
Soak the offending broken bolts with PB Blaster for a few days first.:)
 
I think he's talking about the bolts that hold the stator in the stator cover. Extraction is a possibility but it might be simpler to find another cover. Heck I may have a spare somewhere. Or you can ask around or check eBay. They're pretty common.
 
thanks everybody ill try the extractor kits first then if i fail ill look for a new cover
