Re: 2002 SV refresh
I know one of my mates had a mobile Helicoil guy come round and insert a Helicoil when he'd stripped a plug thread in his car. Guy retapped the thread in situ, without removing the head, and stuck a helicoil in. Although access to the plug in question was easy.
You case is a bit different, with the remains of the plug in place, but might save you a job removing the head. I guess its the front cylinder and the previous owner hadn't changed the plugs or didn't put any copaslip on the plug thread if he did.

Yeah front cylinder. The easy out won't fit down the barrel. So head is coming off. PITA and has cost around £70 so far. |

Re: 2002 SV refresh
Those fork lowers look nice. What paint did you use?
Your curvy is the same colour as mine! |

Re: 2002 SV refresh
i have gotten snapped plug threads out by using a big flat head screwdriver.
one thing i have noticed with the 10mm threads that the SV uses is that they are very very easy to snap when installing them. |

Tried with a not huge one but it just ground away the plug end. Hoping one of the easy outs will do it. Heads coming off so as to avoid bits of metal in the engine. |
