Default Re: Broken Radiator Bolt - SV650 1999

You need the top bolt to stop the radiator flexing.

I know from experience (did this exact thing) if there is some bolt showing you may be lucky and able to remove it with mole grips.
If not you can centre punch the bolt, drill the bolt very carefully with a cobalt steel bit and cutting oil and retap it.
If your not happy about doing it, take it to someone to do it. It's not easy I will say that now
