Title: Lost screws - need to find replacements
Post by: RoadToRuin on April 19, 2007, 06:40:27 AM
Where would be the best place to find replacement screws for the exhaust connecting to the engine case, those long ones with the allen heads?

Thanks.

metric bolts.....

automotive fasteners...
suzuki dealer....order
on line

take one out and go to lowes hardware...and match it up with a socket head bolt or allen with a washer.....

this is common, fyi.   check them regularly!

also this is why all my bikes get safety wired!!!!

calipers and exhaust at a minimum

Is it fine getting a bolt from any old hardware store? It won't be a problem with the extreme temperatures in that area?
