I am missing one of the (2) bolts that mount the front caliper assembly to the front wheel.

Any information on replacement?


Thanks

I hope you didn't lose the bolt while riding!    You should probably purchase a replacement bolt at a dealer - I would avoid hardware store bolts because they may not have the required strength. Don't forget to use Blue Loctite and tighten to specified torque!

edit: fixed typo

Loctite both while you're at it.  May be a good time to go through the other nuts/bolts on the bike while you got the loctite out.  (ie) front and rear calipers, shift lever, handlebar bolts......

Alright, so I should go to a dealer to find the replacement?

You can probably find one at a good hardware store, just make sure it's the proper grade.  Look at the small number on the head of the bolt for grade:

Probably a 8.8 or possibly a 10.9, approx equivelant to our US grade 5 or 8 respectively.

I never loctite, just tighten them properly.  Use a torque wrench if you don't have a feel for it.

Alright thanks, Im gonna go go see if I can find a bolt this morning, and go back and make sure the rest are up to spec with the tourque wrench!

Edit :

I was looking thru a bunch of ATV botls , and found a suitable bolt.
