have a look at an m10 bolt and see if there is enough beef round the hole and re tap it to suit m10 .no need to buy expensive taps if you havnt already got a set as its only alloy . helicoils might do short term but they wont last long term on something thats taking a load
going up to the ssdt to spectate for the first time. was wondering if the list of routes and directions how to get to them will be listed on this site beforehand. if not where is best place to find them
its ok but not strong .just look at it the wrong way and it will snap .better with the bit alluminium plate underneath and pop rivett method .ugly but strong
take the plug out, turn bike upside down and kick it over until no more moisture comes out ,fit fresh air filter ,clean out carb and it will start eventually .remember to change gearbox oil .if you are going to leave it overnight spray wd40 down the bore but the sooner you get it started the better
PATHETIC how much would it cost to keep that helicopter in the air and deploy those policemen for what .not as if you were doing any harm.they really need to get a grip and get their priorities right
as a quick fix option get a 5mm drill and drill a hole into the space between the shaft and the kickstart so as half the hole is in the shaft and half in the kickstart and hammer in a bit of 5mm round bar and tighten up .i know its hidously rough but the shaft is goosed anyway and its a quick fix option .i did it on an dt175 years ago and it lasted the life of the bike
