Yes, very fixable.
If you are going to shear a bolt or stud- what you have done is about the best circumstances. Inside the engine with clean, lubricated threads and whilst tightening the bolt i.e. you know nothing is seized.
Have you tried first to use a scriber or other pointed instrument to try and prick the snapped off bit ACW and out- you may be suprised?
Worst case you will have to centre-pop and drill a small hole through the bolt (there will be a cavity behind it so you will know when you are through), then a stud extractor/eazy-out will turn it out.

Might work Nick- theory is the bolt has not bottomed out in the threads and you have just sheared the rest off it with the overtightening against the pickup stub or whatever it is. The bit in there should be free turning.
LH twistdrill would be next after the scriber attempt- but doubt you have one of those.
Shame you don't live next door!

Going some to shear an 8mm bolt.
So what torque was specified and what did you set your new torque wrench to? Please don't say you never noticed it click!

Always look on the bright side in life, you need lows to have highs and the lower the low the higher the high 😃
I'm sure you will extract that bolt and feel like a real motor mechanic tomorrow, please don't kick the cat or dog in the meantime 😂😂😂

CMSNL parts diagram states this bolt as a 6 x 60 so assuming that is M6 ? Torque setting as per Haynes manual is 17-23 NM. My T.R is not in NM but IBS. I set it at 15 as per the conversion guide supplied with the damn thing? |

Like Paul said it should just turn out because it shouldnt be under any tension. And threads will be well oiled.

That torque seems awfully high for a 6mm bolt. For our bikes Honda specified 5-8 lb-ft for a 6mm bolt.
You possibly been Haynes'd?

Hi Nick the problem is that if the bolt as bottomed out it will be hard against the bottom surface , you could try easy outs , if not we will have to re-tap the hole . |

Centre punch in of course the centre and I'd try if it's a 6mm thread a 4 or 4.5 left hand drill going slowish and it may loosen the bolt
