Riders Of Vision

Went riding yesterday for a good while 8)......pleased that the left case I opened for starter clutch bolt repair is still not leaking 8).......filled up gas ...or should I say overfilled... because I go in to pay for gas and get some food come back and theres a puddle under the bike :o  .... yep dissolved that shotty paint job pretty good ::)....now to the gremlins..... apparently the bolts that hold the ignition switch fell out cause I go to put the key in and I push the thing right out :o .......so does anyone know the size bolt  needed to secure the ignition switch .....think I can get to them without removing fairing but we'll see. 

dont know exactly but here is the part number if you want to get a replacement
97301-06016-00

otherwise unplug the ignition unit and take it to the hardware store for bolt fitment...dont forget to put the lock washers on

Ignition switch bolt loss has been talked about before - but not in a while.  I remember checking mine during the discussion & found them both loose.  They had factory lock washers installed.  I used some loctite when I reinstalled them.  I don't recall the size.

You may be able to get to them without removing the fairing.  On pumpkin, I checked them when I tried to tighten the steering bearings.  Loosening up the top triple tree and lifting it up a bit gives you lots more room to work on them.

:) M8 x 20, if my memory serves me well... ;) Use soc' head cap screw's...like the ones in your engine case covers, a lock washer and a wee bit of BLUE loctite... 8)

                                         

Thank you Tiger 8)........ had a feeling you would know ;D. What you guys knew of these gremlins and nobody told me :'(....is there anything else you guys are keeping from me >:( ...is there another V site your seeing :'(.. :D

Tiger your memory fails you, it's 6mm X 20 mm..I agree with you,a  alen head bolt is easier to install it the recessed hole.
