So last week I got my new shiny XSR700 and of course had to go crazy on mods. Tail tidy came in yesterday from evotech so I began this morning working on installing it. In the process, I ran into a few hex screws that were REALLY cinched in. Unfortunately I was using the allen wrenches that come with the bike and they're a bit soft and I ended up ruining the allen wrenches (aka hex key set), but worse, stripped the screws (see pic). I've since picked up a decent allen wrench set, but now I have a hex screw that I can't get out.
Two questions for you guys.
First, any suggestions for how to get this out now that the hole is rounded and an allen wrench does nothing?
Second, does anyone know where to order these at reasonable prices? Local hardware shops, even specialty screw shops don't have these. Would a Yamaha dealership have them? Is there a site online that sells them?
Thanks!
Chris
