96 KDX 200 top end job . . .

I removed the three bolts that secure the KIPS cover in place and removed the valve cover and one the two holder bolts that secure the main valve fell into my hand and the washer was sort of stuck under the main valve lever. The lever showed no damage and operated fine.

Any ideas on what to do about the threads stripped in the head for this holder bolt? I tried some thread repair, it was kind of a mess, I can try it again OR How about just using one holder bolt?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Tap it and use the next larger size metric bolt.

OK, that sounds very good, thank you. I was worried about the amount of materal in the head but now I know to go ahead and tap it thanks again.
