Title: HELP - unknown bolts
Post by: wezzy Boy on 30 June 2023, 08:46:36 am
I have stripped my bike and put it back together of the past 3 years.


I have a 2002 fzs600


I have 5 bolts left over and not a clue where they are from.


Can anyone help identify them?


There are five and I am assuming they came from the same area

Hi wezzy. How about taking it out for ride and seeing what falls off, and that's where they were supposed to be, and if nothing falls off they're obviously not that important. Hope this helps. :rolleyes

Lol.
I might just do that.


I think I have just used the wrong bolts in the wrong places and used spare bolts when the ones I had left didn’t fit.


I’m sure they will just be spare now


Thanks for replying

I can't help you with this as such, but I saw a great tip on Facebook a while back.

Get a piece of cardboard and draw a sketch outline of the parts you're working on.

Every time you remove a bolt etc, you stick it through the cardboard in the place it came from, that way, when you reassemble everything, you know what goes where :)

Great idea thanks


I did take pictures of some of the bolts I was removing but didn’t for all of them.


Silly me

They look to me to be engine casing type bolts, sprocket cover ? If you have ended up with them because you mixed up your own bolts for ones that came off the bike then the slightly worrying thing is that they are different lengths for a reason and your bolts will not be the same length --- shorter or longer than they should be.

They look like 6mm bolts, in which case as fazersharp says possibly engine cover bolts. To me they look a bit short for the sprocket cover but could possibly be from the alternator cover.

I believe I have them 100 % correct as I took pictures of those.
I will have another look around the bike just to make sure though.


They wouldn’t be from inside the engine would they? I stripped  the top off but I’m sure I put them all back in.


I took the sump off too but all bolts look fine in there


Thanks for this help chaps


I have attached a photo of the sprocket housing bolt next to the spare bolts as a comparison


The only bolts I was so sure about were the two that hold the instrument panel to the frame. I’ve added a picture of that too. Two of them could be from there.

The hex bolt in the top pic is definitely not right. They never fit longer bolts than they need to. If that is the fairing hanger bracket I believe they are mushroom headed Allen bolts

I believe I have found the answer


Footpeg bolts
Footpeg bolts



And I used the mushroom bolts in the foot pegs so now I need to think what the other two are from


Probably something to do with the back box which hasn’t gone back on

 Excellent idea Sharpy, Should we post our pics in the Naughty corner? :eek
   The two threaded holes on the bottom yoke are for the front brake splitter but that uses flanged hex head  M5 bolts.

I don’t use the splitter anymore so they are redundant.

Sprocket cover has 2 longer bolts, not 3.
