wanted: fzs 600 petrol tank bolt

[Paulfzs]

need the front bolt for a 98 fzs 600 tank, mine fell out a long time ago and my badly fitting replacement fell out today.


found one site but the postage is 11 euros!

Those tank bolts are mush, every time a bike topples over it melts the thread on the bolt, just use whatever bolt you've got lying around that's the same diameter.

I cant see anyone having that particular bolt just hanging around that they'll then go and post.

get yourself into the downloads section and trawl through the 600 manual until you find out the exact size of bolt and then go on fleabay and buy 10 of them for a quid happy days lovely jubbly jobs a good'n

But he hasn't got said bolt to show them
If he did, he wouldn't need replacement bolt ......

Well then the thread is knackered so putting in a replacement is kind redundant. either drill and tap it the next size up, Helicoil it, or what I did on mine drill the thread out and put a rubber top-hat nut in.
