Well I finally managed to drill out the old bolt and retap an 8mm thread so now I have replaced the bolt and applied lots of nice copper grease so hopefully it will not seize up and snap again.
Surely a company like Yamaha could afford to grease bolts when assembling their bikes??
It was a bit of a pig to drill out as the drills need to be much longer than normal, not easy to find in small diameters.
Now just got to get the rear wheel aligned, any bright ideas on how to do this on your own, outside??
