I actually fixed this for a friend last year on his 97 GP1200. Anyway, start with an automatic center punch to get a good dimple the exact center of the broken bolt. Sometimes you can actually use the center punch to get the bolt moving, but I doubt it will work in your situation. Just get a good dimple in the center of the broken bolt. Next, use a small reverse drill bit to start drilling into the broken bolt. The bit turns in reverse, so there is a chance it may spin the broken fastener out. After you get a hole in it, use a larger drill bit, also reverse. Now you have a hole in the center of the fastener that is large enough to get an easy out in. Use a hammer to seat it, and slowly turn it in, and the fastener will hopefully start turning out. Use plenty of PB blaster along the way.
