Ok so I want to get back on the bike now that my shoulder is all healed but need to get the bold from the slider out of the block. When I went down it snapped off inside. It's the left side so it is the motormount. Where it snapped was flush with the edge of the block but still have to get through the mount point hole(not threaded).

Was thinking of trying an EZ Out but I need a drill. other suggestions are welcome as well.

My buddy had an 06 or 07 gsxr with the same problem. We tried a bunch of eazy outs and none of them worked. That motor mount bolt is pretty large and torqued in really good. He decided he was going to drill the old bolt out, re-thread the hole, and use a new bolt. Well, he got overzealous and drilled through the bolt and into the motor making a nice hole in the head there. If you leaned the bike over on that side it would leak oil out LOL.

I would suggest getting a high torque drill for the eazy out if you go that route. Good luck.

Its all fixed Mattman came by and we used an EZ Out to pull it. Was quick and painless.
