    Hi all, I've been trying for ages to get an intermittent ignition switch off the bike but the torx screws seem as though they are welded on! Any ideas folks, very much appreciate any views on this. Accessibility is absolute pants as well! Thank you.

    Drilling the heads off would be the next step. Remove the upper triple to get to them.

    If the torx are rounding out, you're pretty much done.

    Remove the upper triple clamp and drill the heads off. Had to do it on my 92.
