[SOLVED] Front Sprocket cover bolts

[Lazarus]

Guys,


Getting a little confused.


Short story : commuting home from work, gear lever refused to changed gears (mega stiff) and clutch lever had a lot of excess play)


got home and tightened up the cable (at the locking nut mechanism). I also took the front sprocket cover off to make sure everything was ok (wee bit of spring clean and a bit of lube)


but - i noticed a couple of bolts were missing.


Checked the PDF (I have a FZS 600 Foxeye Year 2003 - guide indicates 2002) and the parts catalog indicates that there should be 2 bolts and a Dowel. Was there a change between 2003 and 2002?


Page 15 of the PDF guide (Cover / Crankcase)


or am I needing new eyes?


Just looking for the bolt sizes to get some new ones.

Put your year of bike on here (i noticed there's a couple to choose from) and look at crankcase 1 category.

No need for new eyes just yet! That diagram shows how many different parts there are but does not show how many of each part you need. It is four of item 6, one of item 7, two of item 5. Item 7 goes in the middle at the back as shown and is longer than the other four.
You will get them much cheaper from a fastener supplier.
They are all 6mm screws and I will now go and measure the length for you.

Item 6 - 4 off -- 6mm x 40mm long socket head bolts.  From the PDF Yamaha pt.no. 91314-06040-00
Item 7 - 1 off -- 6mm x 50mm long socket head bolts.                              "          "      91314-06050-00


You might notice that the middle part of Yam part number gives a clue to the dia and length.  .


Standard stuff, like those bolts, from an industrial supplier will cost about a tenth of the Yamaha (or Sutton) price. One near me in Lancashire  http://www.nutsofchorley.co.uk/  have always been happy to sell to me in small quantities when I call in but I don't know if they do mail order. Plenty on e-bay though.
Places like B & Q not usually much use for bolts on bikes as even if they have the size of bolt you want they are often made from a lower strength of steel.
