Hello, I have a 1997 200, I've raced I think six scrambles on it. I have a new front tire that I need to put on there, however my axle bolt (which is a allen bolt that goes in the fork) is completely stripped out to a circle. Does anyone have any tips on how to get it out? Also wondering if I would be able to order a new bolt.

in my experience (front end work) pounding in an appropriate sized torx works great for getting stripped allens out. do NOT try this with security style torx, they will snap off, and drilling out hardened metal, well, it sucks

No need to blast the same question multiple times, you never have to wait long for an answer around here. See the original post.
