NEED HELP PLEASE!!
I've strippedtwo of theTORX screws on my cluch inspection cover. So much for self maintenance.
The bike is an'02 DWG and I assume these are the original screws when the bike was bought T-25(I picked her up used about 1 1/2 years ago).
What methods do you guys suggest for removing these? I plan to buy a whole new set if I can ever get them off. The crappy thing is I've already drained the primary oil so I can't take it to the dealership as I have no way of trailering it. The other bummer is the weather is awesome right now and I can't ride
Thanks in advance.

Here's one method bb -
cut a slot in it and then use a straight blade screwdriver.

RE: NEED HELP PLEASE!!
Last summer there was a guy who stated he uses red loctite on everything, including his derby cover. Why not the inspection cover? He caught a ration of **** for it... Sounds like he sold his bike to you. j/k...
I'm trying to go from memory, but doesn't the inspection cover take a T-27???

If Mud's suggestion doesn't work, drill the head off them. You won't hurt anything. Get a drill bit that's the same size or just a hair larger than the diameter of the shank of the fastener. Drill the head off the ones that are screwed up. Then remove the screws that are okay. Get a pair of vise-grips or pliers of some sort and remove the shanks from the bad ones. You'll have to get new screws, but you are going to need to do that anyhow.
