You are looking at the left stud hole correct?

woah woah woah- I don't know if you have money to burn or are just ambitious for taking on a project but I think it would be A LOT EASIER to simply replace the stud than the head. I know, it probably snapped off near the head but before you spend money on something I dont think you need take a close look at the stud. Completely remove the exhaust first. If you have even a quarter inch of stud exposed you can remove it. Take that plastic off your engine- it's a cooling vent (of sorts) so be sure to replace it when you're done. Next spray a ton of PB Blaster, wd-40 or any other penetrating lube on there. I think PB blaster works best IMHO. Wait 15 minutes. Repeat. Now grab it with some vise grips- really tight- and give it a turn. if it doesnt move don't tear it off, spray some more lube on and wait. It will come out. If the stud is broken off flush with the head THEN you might be better off going the new head route. Once you buy an extractor kit, penetrating lube, etc you might as well have bought a new head. Keep in mind, though, that if you plan on buying a bbk now is the time to do it- and you might also want a head with larger valves to improve performance. Just a thought. Aside from removing the head you shouldn't have to pull the motor to get the stud out. You can probably get under the bike while it's on the stand to do it. I have done a bbk install without pulling the motor but in hindsight it would have been less of a headache just to remove it. =) I am going to remove the head to get a closer look at the stud in the morning. from below it looks like it either isnt there or broke inside. Is it even possible for one to fall out? I would love to bbk it if I do need a new head but don't have the spare money to do it this month. Working with $50 atm. |

I am going to start taking off the head tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can see how bad the broken stud is then. Might be able to rethread it up to 8mm studs.

I just took off the exhaust, it did indeed snap off inside, looks like its diaganal as well. Will post pics of it first thing in the morning. I am hoping this wont cost too much to fix or replace.

Thanks for the info, I hope it didn't snap off...... That will tear me apart. I just don't see how it would have though..... No evidence of it hitting something.

Was out riding today and on the way home, the scoot got really loud and started backfiring. I got home and looked and the exhaust is off, idk how it happened. But it got me baffled.  If anyone can tell me what i need to fix it I would very much love you forever. |

Was really looking to get one of these down the road but can't seem to find one. Any ideas?
Here is a vid with what they look like.
