i have a race shift lever on my aprilia rs 125, and want to put the standard one back on. i've tried undoing the bolts attaching it to the bike, but the bolts just turn and turn the screw aswell, so it doesnt loosen. what do i do?

if something is turning you don't want turning just get some pliers or mole grips Thumbs Up

Generally if something is turning when it's just supposed to undo it's because it's normally seized. Try lubricating it Thumbs Up
