    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

Front Engine Bolt

Anybody have issues with the front engine bolt

I just took off the crash bars so I needed a new bolt, got the right part from Suzuki but it is too long, the nut runs out of thread before getting close to tight

I looked on my other Kat but there is no spacer

Is it just that I have the wrong part or am I am missing something?:confused:
 
If you have got the washers fitted and it won't tighten you have the wrong bolt. Should measure 10 X 250

yep, washers and spring washers. how much too long is it? maybe double up on the flat washers so it clamps up, saves buying another one, or get the threads tapped a bit longer maybe
 
The bolt is 10 x 250, but off the 1000 it is 10 x 235
The spacing between the front frame brackets is the same on both the 1100 and the 1000

Guess I'm going to be looking for a spacer to make this one work, 15mm of washers is going to look like crap
