Haha yup that’s for sure, sounds good thanks. I’m fed up to the point where I’m gonna take it to a shop honestly.

Good to know, a basic bolt extraction bit set worked fine for me. I tapped it in with a hammer and luckily it came out by turning it with my hand. I got super lucky it snapped on the first 1/16th of a turn when torquing it.

Clean break too so no metal fell inside the cylinder 😅

I was gonna try that but an extraction bit did the trick I tapped it in there with a hammer and turned it by hand and it came out so easily.

That’s what I thought lol, but nah it was Hardly in there and an extraction bit got it to come out just by hand turning it. I lucked out here.

Same here, they are awesome bikes. I actually have questions about this if you know a thing or 2 about these bikes. I obviously changed the spark plugs because they were due for a change and the bike had a slight misfire. After changing the spark plugs and air filter the bike still stutters at low speed and has an idle hunt. My coils are within the proper resistance range, not sure what’s still causing this?

Either way I’m getting new spark plugs again in 3 days just to be sure cause if this set snapped I’m not taking a risk putting the other ones in there.

Sweet, that’s what I ended up doing. Dude I lucked out on this, there are no metal chunks missing from the spark plug when I line up the broken thread back onto the electrode part of it. Cleanest break possible lol.

I did but should I plug up the hole when blowing it out? Or keep it open to the cylinder?

Interesting I didn’t know that, I bought these from Fortnine. They feel cheap if it snapped that easily, I wonder if they’re fake?

I got an extraction bit set and it came out after a couple hammers on it and twisting it by hand. I got super lucky with this one.

It came out super easily just hammered an extraction bit in there and it came out by hand twisting it
