Broken inner primary bolt
Noticed a small leak under bike and upon closer inspection i found a broken bolt. The leak doesn't appear to be from the broken bolt though. Seems it's trickle from higher up.
To extract and replace the bolt it looks like i should need to remove outer and inner primary. Is this something that needs to be addressed right away or can it be ridden awhile without causing any damage?

If you were to remove the inner case would the case slip over the bolt or is there some of the bolt remaining to prohibit case removal. If the case can come off, is there enough to grab with vise grips, after soaking the bolt overnight with Liquid wrench, Kroil or whatever is available.

Pull the inner and outer primary covers (including the compensator and clutch basket) and remove the bolt with vise grips.
However, I wouldn't do it until I had a better reason to go into the primary.

The best way to turn a project into a nightmare is know the best way to get it done and then do something else because it seems easier. It never is.
