Side stand bolt holes threaded?

[skatefreak]

2001 GSXR 600 (K1) track bike,
Side stand bolts had loosened enough to let the stand rock and wreck the threads in the frame. I can deal with no side stand but it's bugging the hell out of me after just one track day .

So the question is, KeySert/Helicoil/TimeSert?
Has anyone used any of these before?

My main concern is that it's a highly stressed application and therefore am hoping someone know's which is more suitable?

Thoughts much appreciated.

Not sure what they're mounted in. Can you get a nut on the other side? Drill to the next size up and re-tap?

The bolts go in where the frame is angled so to drill them out and put longer bolts in really an option :-\

I'm also concerned that going up a bolt size will require drilling out the side stand bracket leaving less material and a little weaker so keeping the same size bolt would be an advantage...

Drill and Helicoil if you don't want to go to the next size up.

The 'insert' itself fractured and let go sooner
Helicoil it is, failing that, weld the fucker on *shrugs*.
