Does anyone know what the correct bolt is that goes into the crank and holds the ignition rotor on?

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
The part number is:
01500-0865B
So it looks like you need a high-grade 8mm bolt that's 65mm long. Although sometimes the part numbers don't tell the full tale, so it might be a good idea to get confirmation on that from a 550 owner.
65mm is not a standard length, so your best and cheapest bet would be to just order one from your favorite purveyor of Suzuki parts (probably a local dealer, if you're just getting one part).
I would not cut down a 70mm bolt -- you very well may need the extra threads.

well i used a 8mm 1.25 standard pitch bolt but it doesnt really want to thread, i think the previous owner had tryed shoving a 5/16 in it and effed up the threads, im guessing i may have to tap it out...
Eeewwww. Damn POs...
Use a VERY high quality US-made tap, lots of lube, and be extra gentle (that's what SHE said, har har har...).
You do NOT want a broken tap embedded in your crankshaft.
Some of what you feel may just be old Loctite, too.
