Fastener "bill of materials"

[plavix]

I tried several searches but came up empty...I was wondering if a.) anybody has compiled a list of the fasteners (bolts/nuts/washers/screws) which are used on these bikes for the purpose of being able to just replace all of them...or at least the ones which are particularly critical.  And b.) if anybody has found a good source for quality fasteners other than digging around in the bins at the hardware store?

Since it looks as though every bolt, nut, and washer is significantly corroded on my bike, it might be kind of nice to just buy new fasteners.  I am guessing that some of the more unique fasteners are model dependent and need to be ordered through the dealer...and also that some of them could be cleaned up and reused.

Thanks!  And be careful with the "nut" and "screw" jokes people ;D

I suppose I'm lucky that I work in the "hardware" business...(on the road sales, selling to factory maintenance dept's, trucking companies, etc) and have two x 40 slot "bolt bin's", double stacked, with a chemical cabinet on top (pen' fluid, elec' contact cleaner, etc,) , as well as several 4 draw storage unit's in my garage, filled with an array of: nut's, bolt's, washer's, electrical connector's, tie wrap's, cotter pin's, etc, etc.

A complete list would be superb...I just don't have the time to sit down and do it. If someone has a list, send me a copy, please. However, a couple of things spring to mind, that may help you.

I would never recommend re-using any used nuts/bolts,etc that have already been stressed...let alone 23...24 year old corroded piece's.

Buy the best quality, "ON-SHORE", NOT cheap off-shore fastener's(China,Taiwan,etc) that you can...ask the supplier if he sells on-shore or off-shore hardware before you buy/order... ;)

Most of the nuts, bolts, washers, cotter pin's, etc are regular, off-the-shelf hardware item's.

They are all metric, which come in two main grades...8.8 and 10.9.  10.9 is a better quality and the one that I would recommend, (and use).

There is always the "Stainless Steel" alternative...My engine case socket head cap screw's are polished S.S.

Depending where you work...or go to school, you should speak to the "Maintenance Manager" for your facility. They will, most likely, use a pro' hardware supplier and you may then be able to pick up your requirement(s), for a small fee or free...from them...8)

I hope this is of some help to you... 8)

I took all the good ones I could find to Lowes Hardware store and matched them up and got new ones.  I also drew a stencil of my bike on a large piece of cardboard and punched holes for each of the nuts and bolts and placed them in their respective location on the drawing when I removed them.  It made putting the bike back together much easier. ;D

I'm sorry to resurrect an old post but I'm keen on recycling. ;D
Has there been any update on a nuts/bolts&washers parts list, I've searched through the forum and this topic is the best I could find.
If I made a list and I'm not saying I will, would it cover the US model as mine would be for the UK version.

[Brian Moffet]

The part number will contain the size of the bolt.  As an example, (I think this is correct), if you look at the bolt that holds the seat stand, it has a part number of 97016-08016-00.  If I am remembering correctly, that bolt is an 8mm and 16mm long.  (08 016).

If someone can confirm this, that would be great.  It's not a complete list, but at least it's a start on what the bolts are if of you have the part number.

Thanks Brian for the info, I've just checked a couple of bolts I've already replaced against the part number and you are correct.

I have not dealt  with these people, just found them while looking for bike porn

Roro,
that looks like a set I got on ebay.  I paid something like US 20.00 for it and it was very good quality.

I would buy them for $20 but shipping is $43 to UK for slow UPS  :(

Found this while looking for UK supplier of bolts, about yamaha part numbers explained.-
   

For a Part Number in the format XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX


    XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX
    The first three digits are the Model Code (every model in the Yamaha Product Line has a unique model number) all parts are given a Model Code of the first model they were used on.
XZ 550 RJ & RK = 11H
    XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX
    The middle five digits are the Basic Code number and indicate the section of the bike that the parts belong to (i.e. 11631 - piston; 11311 - cylinder etc.). A "W" substituted in the first position of this five-digit group (000-W0000-00-00) indicates a factory assembled kit which differs in content from the original assembly used in production (i.e. 2M0-W0046-00-00 – Rear Break Pad Ass'y).

    XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX
    The next two digits are the Design Code and Design Change digits (so 01 means the part has had one design change).

    XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX
    The last two digits are the Color or Finish Code.



For a Part Number in the format XXXXX-XXXXX-XX

All these parts are Hardware (fasteners), they all start with a '9' and end in '00'.
The second and third digits tells us what type of fastener:


    0 - 'various'
    1 - bolts, cotter pins
    2 - screws, nuts
    3 - oil seals, O-rings, bearings
    4 - spark plugs
    5 - bolts, nuts
    6 - ISO bolts
    7 - ISO screws and nuts


The fourth and fifth digits tell us what material/surface finish (e.g. chromed).
Digits six and seven give the diameter (inner or outer) e.g. 08 would be an M8 size.
Digits eight, nine and ten are the length (except for '901' bolts for some reason)
There are also standard fastener types...e.g.


    90105-XXXXX are Washer based bolts
    90116-XXXXX are Studs
    90401-XXXXX are Union bolts
    99999-XXXXX means that a part has been superceded by a kit

This helped alot :) I have 2 local auto fastner manufacturers and 4 hardware stores, so im looking at getting the majority of bolts/fastners replaced with new ones of the most appropriate grade.
