White97Banshee Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 So my shift lever bolt finally got stripped out and needs replacing, but it's too bad to check what the size/pitch was. I googled and searched here for a while and had no results, so I was wondering do any of you guys know what size bolt is the correct one to clamp the kickstart lever to the shift shaft? Thanks in advance! Quote
dco3100 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 From the top of my head, its probably a 6mil 125pitch, if i remember ill check when i get home. But if your bolt threads got jacked up, its more than likely your shift shaft grooves took a beating as well. Another option is to put a smaller, but longer bolt that passes all the way through and put a locknut on the other side, tighten and be on your way. I actually have this done to one of my current bikes, works great. Quote
White97Banshee Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Posted January 27, 2010 I put a longer bolt through and put a nut on the end of it as a clamp cuz I had one laying around and it seems to work just fine. Thanks! Quote
AKheathen Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 it's m8 and i think 1.5, but could be 1.25 pitch, and a socket screw.....25mm should work Quote
