    Stubborn Hex Screws

    in General Tech Talk

    Posted

    Good news folks !

     

    I was able the get one of the "stripped Hex screws" out by cutting off the head with a dremal, applying some heat and then working "hard" with sears easy-out.. The othe screw decided that it wasn't "going out that way".. So I ended up using 1/4" colbalt drill bit with a 8mm-1.25 tap to get that one out

    Thanks all

    Can always depend on folks from this site to pitch in and help :bowdown:

     

    I'm going to try the drill and tap procedure out today and let everyone know the outcome.. I beleive worse case senario would be that I'll need to go to a bigger screw..

     

    Thanks all

    Thanks silvrT !

     

    I thought about drilling it out but I didn't want to "screw" up the threads. That being said, I guess it could be re-tapped ? This is sounding like I should leave this up to the experts..

     

    Anybody had this problem before? If so how did you solve it ?

    :confused24:

    Ok folks, I need some help..

     

    I just got my set of passenger Highway pegs from Diamond R Accessories for the Misses.. I attemped to remove the rear Hex screw and ended up stripping the head, so I got out my "easy outs". Well the heads of the factory screws are pretty soft and the easy out just ate into it.. Ok now I'm getting a bit pissed off so I get a extractor bit and drilled a pilot hole and try it.. NO LUCK !! :bang head:

     

    My question is, wha't my next course of attack ??

     

    Thanks

    Disappointed with the 2010 RSV

    Man i'm a bit pissed off at Yamaha ! Just went to their site to look at the 2010 RSV and the only thing that it looks like they changed is the color :confused24:

     

    I was so hoping that they would increase the engine output and go to FI. They need to catch up our they may lose the market share they've got now!

     

    I wanted to turn my 06 RSTD to a solo ride and purchase the RSV for when my better half rides with me.

    Oh well, maybe next year :fingers-crossed-emo

    What mufflers are you running

    Outstanding :thumbsup2:

    I read somewhere that you needed to do some metal cutting and spot wielding in order for the RK's to fit...

     

    I'm going to search around to find a "khromewerks sound byte".

     

    But it sounds like the RK's are what I'm looking for.. I'm going to visit the nearest Harley dealer to see if I can pickup a set of RK muffler's on the cheap !

     

    Thanks 1sttenor,

    For the "bracket Link" I'll be getting a pair.. "If I can locate a set of RK's"

    Riders,

     

    I know this topic has been beaten to death but I need to know "from the last related posting" what is the majority of members using for after market mufflers :puzzled: I don't have the metel knowledge to make mods that installing the "road king" mufflers would take..

     

    I don't want LOUD, but I do want that deep rumble sound that will let cagers know I'm there..

    Bubs ? " Do the sleepers still have the crome tip issue?

    Kromeworks ?

    etc

    etc

    Help a fellow rider out

    Ok, after viewing a few segments of the video, finding an empty shopping ctr parking lot, and practicing the meneuvers I'm now able to (with confidence) perform the circle completely locked out. In both directions :banana:

     

    It did take me approx 1.5 hours to get the meneuver down pat though.. Also I'm running on ME 880's and in the beggining, it seemed like my tires were not tracking well. I checked the air pressure and sure enough they both were low. :doh: After making that correction, it was much easier to accomplish my goal.. So CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE !!

     

    This video should be in every bikers collection :bowdown: RLAP ver. 5
