I ordered in a new pair of spools since when i bought my bike it only had one spool on the left side still on. i topped up my fuel, added stabilizer, put one spool on the bike and then went to take the old spool off. when trying to take the old spool off i had a really hard time trying to turn the bolt. when i finally turned it hard enough the damn thing broke and now the the whole threaded part of the bolt it stuck where my new swing arm spool was supposed to go. I don't know any other way of lifting my bike off the ground for winter and really dont want any cupping on my tires. any suggestions?

Stick a piece of rebar through the hollow axle and put on jack stands. Drill the broken bolt out. Retap the hole. While your at it lube your dry chain.

^ Good advice.

I wouldn't worry about your tires though, they will be fine sitting for the winter.
