Topic: No bueno broken bolt head cover/clutch woes

[scottg1018]

I have a bike I'm working on that I did an awesome job when torquing down the head cover (it's not a sohc4...sry guys I have and have had a couple and just love this forum). I did such a good job I twisted off the bottom 25~30% off the head cover bolt into the motor. It's really deep down in the threads. If anyone reading this has had this issue. What did you do to get it out? Not interested in replacing jugs so I gotta fix it.
OR if you just have a handy idea you'll think will work I'm all ears. I could really use the help.

Also I have a daily rider that when I start off from 1st gear it "sounds like to me" the clutch basket having a good spin before it engages. this "spinning/clunky grinding sound"  is a new development so I wanna fix it before I get it back on the road(not driving it its the one with the broken bolt now!)

AAAAAAAAAAAAnyway What do you guys think? Should I fork out for a clutch basket, plates (needs plates to be sure) and springs?

Also, if ANYONE (gotta be more than one person...) feels this is something that the masses needs to know about (either one of these jobs) I'll gladly do a video and put it on the tube of yous for everyone's viewing pleasure.

**edit**
Also didn't see the part where I could put in a NON sohc thread...

I guess I wanna be clear in saying

I am replacing the clutch it feels weak. but there is that "grinding" then clunk into go which like i said feels like to ME the basket not catching? or gears of some sort not catching.

Let me explain what I'm trying to say in example. When you do your timing belt on a car, you should also do your water pump and oil seals. Well what about a clutch? I normally go with the "better replace it while I can" motto (it's an old bike show it some love)

I was thinking putting a new clutch basket, plates, springs, new seal for the cover. Is there anything else while I'm in the right side of my bike that should be done?

For "non-SOHC" bikes, use the "other bikes" forum.

Go ahead and identify the bike. Someone here may have specific experience.

It's a 1982 CM450E and If you guys want to have a moderator move the topic that's fine i reckon. I just didn't even see the "other bikes" tab.
