Broken front sprocket bolt - FIX?

[Joekerr1]

I had a loose front Sprocket bolt on one of my trx250r's. I don't know how I did it, but I gave it a couple turns and SNAP, it broke with the majority of it inside the shaft.

BEST FIX?

Somehow extract the bolt?

Drill it out larger and tap a new thread and get a larger bolt?

Remove engine, open it up, remove shaft and replace with a new shaft?

What do you think?

I had this happen to me but there was a litle bit of the bolt left sticking out and I managed to get it out. but i'd say it should come out if you want to do it or have some mechanic or someone do it. you just need a small drill bit, center punch, and the correct size bolt extractor and alot of paitence and a steady hand. its about like doing emergency surgery on your bike lol. if your not careful you could screw up more stuff.
