As i was tighting down the the 2 bolts on the sprocket and i snapped one of them in the threads. The one bolt is all the way in there and was tight then i guess i put to much torch on it and it snapped. The other one is in there fine. What do i do? im going riding soon and dont want the sporcket to fall off. The bolt is still all the way in there with locktight. Should it be fine? i just wont be able to take it out.( im fine with that though) If theres no way i can ride with it, where can i get another one fore cheap?

i would say you would be fine with it for that ride. after that i would take it out and get another. you can find a prety cheap one on ebay. thats where i do alot of my business.

Just get it from a hardware store. I have replaced both of mine. The hardware store will have alot better grade of bolt for cheaper than a honda dealer.

first you have to take out the bolt.

to do so , take out the sprocket and put it with it's back side turn up.

then make a deep mark on the center of the bolt. (with hammer and spike)

then drill the bolt with 4mm driller. (HSS type recommended)
for about 90% that the bolt will take out on that process.
(do not forget to leave a space under the hole when drilling it)/
if not you can take it off with screw extractor.

new bolt you can buy at the hardware store near you.
it is 6mm diameter on 10mm length.
take the oter one for example.

next time you tightening those bolt - use thread locking compound instead force.
