I had a look at the two bolts when I took them out and they're not standard ones, so the last dickhead whoc changed the disc must've ran out of bolts an dused whatever was lying around.
They're 5mm longer, which meant they protruded out the other side of the wheel and corroded to shit, making getting them through the thread a real pain.
That's odd, because all my disk bolts were longer and protruded 10mm or more into the centre of the wheel, with a lot of fiddling, swearing and achy wrists I was able to get into the wheel hub with a dremel and flexi drive with a small wire brush and clean up most of the threads and gave a sharp crack or two with a claw hammer on the head each bolt, whilst drenching them in W/D, little bit of heat with a gas gun and struggled but got them all out. i ran a tapered tap down each of the threads to clean them out and fitted the new disk with shallow headed (For clearance) stainless steel hex headed bolts. So hopefully if I ever need to remove the disk again it will come off ok. The stupid Allen Key headed screws that Yamaha fit are rediculas.
