    I crashed

    Went out for a ride with my old man yesterday and was going into a corner a bit hot and ended out high siding, smashed the bike up but i was lucky to walk away......

    so now im looking for any wrecked hyosungs to take some spares off.

    Also i snaped the handle bar and the threaded part is still in there with nothing sticking out ...... how do i get it out ?

    Ouch mate. Crashing fuckin sucks. Especially a highside. I'm surprised you're even contemplating repairs. Surely it's totally borked?

    Rear brake causing skid causing let off rear brake causing highside by any chance?

    What have you found? The same old fears.
    Wish you were here. QWQ

    Jinkies! Glad to hear you are okay and able to reflect on the experience! I bet your Dad was relieved he didn't have to deal with anything any more serious (Mum woulda killed him!? )

    How did your gear hold up? No injuries or niggles at the moment?

    Also i snaped the handle bar and the threaded part is still in there with nothing sticking out ...... how do i get it out?

    You will need a tap and dye set to get this out...

    Drill through the part which is stuck use a drill which is not too big make sure it dosent strip the thread when you drill through.

    Use a screwdriver and hammer, try chipping away at the part of the bolt which is left in there get a couple of mm's out so this is a starting point..

    Get the tap set, and screw it into the hole, this will cut a new thread, when you screw it, it will use the exsisting one as a guide.

    Will find a pic of what Im trying to explain,..

    Step 1 - This is the tool kit you would require to do this properly...

    You can get smaller ones from places like Chevpack and any other engineering supplier.

    Step 2 - The pic here is the tool for boaring out the left over bolt which is stuck

    Step 3 - Inserting the tool then you screw it in. It may take several attempts, screw it quarter of a turn in to take a cut then back out to get rid of the filings, then go back in, take another cut and back out... this creates the new thread.

    (remember to note weather the rest of the bolts on the bike are metric or imperial and use the correct type so it matches the rest of the bike)
