Stripped bolt or insert

[10w50]

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to get lower tank bolts on 701 out ? One side keeps spinning don’t know if bolts stripped or insert came loose. It’s 2023 . Is drilling bolt out my only option?

Do you mean these two screws?


Do you tried to twist the tank while trying to unscrew the last screw?

I have had the nut for the front sprocket come loose before that resulted in a clunky ride. I replaced the nut and fold over washer , re-torqued it all...

. Common problem on these. I've heard of people using epoxy or even melting zip ties around thread inserts to keep them from spinning

So you are talking about a 701 and not a Vitpilen/Svartpilen 701.
