Hello All!
The bike nearly started a few days back after getting the pump but there is low compression as smoke is coming from the cylinder head.
The problem is that the bolt has snapped leaving half of it in the body.
Any tips on getting it out? |

Cylinder head bolt
so far we have drilled into it. Can you get a anti-clockwise screw? |

| Remove the cylinder head. Then drill a hole in the bolt and use an "easy-out" to remove it. |

Sorry don't know all about tools?
What is an "easy-out" |

| An "easy-out" is a tapered piece of high strength steel rod with a few grooves running the length. The grooves grip the broken bolt in the hole you have drilled in it allowing you to unscrew it. |
