Broken Oil drain plug HELP?

I was tring to change the oil on my dirtbike and while loosening the drain plug it snapped off flush with the engine any ideas how to get it outBroken Oil drain plug HELP?
pretty easy dude, just get a bolt extractor from your local parts or home improvement store, use a drill to drill a smaller hol in the bolt that broke off (not to hit the threads in your crank case) once you have the hole in the bolt extractor goes in and as u turn it should lock in the drilled hole, and the broken bolt come right out :)Broken Oil drain plug HELP?
there is a screw extractor you can get but you will have to drill a hole through the broken plug and put the extractor in and turn it out. It sounds easier than it really is.
You'll need to drill it out. Go to Sears, they sell a kit that attaches to your drill that will remove broken or stripped bolts.
