changing over original Suzuki R/R to SH775

[wymple]

I will toss any Philips type screw in a heartbeat in exchange for allen head screws. I prefer to get them in stainless.

Is there allen head bolts for the round covers on the engine? Or the ones for the lights?

Thanks for posting the link for the JIS impact driver bits, I am about to tear down a GS650 parts bike and they'll be just what the Doctor ordered to complete the task 🛠. Their JIS screw drivers are the best and VERY reasonably priced at about $30 CND.

the gofast impact driver bit set is very good. Long and short bits and several sizes....They need a small socket though so you'll need adapter to use them on the larger impact drivers. But you can use them in the common multidriver sets too...

the thing about allen screws is you want to get the right steel-not brittle not weak ...Love em or hate em the original JIS casing screws were pretty rugged except when the wrong screw driver is applied to ruin their heads. Myself, I wouldn't use stainless if only because it's a mismatch electrolytically.

That's why there is copper anti-seize.

Yes, those are some good JIS drivers. However, with your location, do you have Pozi-Driv fasteners? Those will work well, too.

Allen-had bolts (more-correctly called socket head bolts) are available for just about anything. Find a hardware supplier in your area to see what they have to offer. I get most of my hardware from Bolt Depot. Not sure what their shipping policy would be, but it won't hurt to contact them to see if they will ship to you.

I have been ordering from stainlesscycle.com, they seem pretty decent. I prefer ebay because the global shipping thing does the VAT thing so I dont get that stupid $35 fee. Just got the ones for the carbs now. I couldnt get the carbs out tonight, I could swear I did it once without removing the airbox or gas tank, but it didn't seem possible to remove with the airbox in place.

I decided to get OEM brake rotor bolts and fold-around-metal-things instead of stainless. I might change them but I am not sure...

We do have pozi-drive bits, can I just throw some of them in an impact driver and get those stupid intake boots off? Then I can tick off replacing those o-rings too (I have all the o-rings for the carb and intake boots). And get them replaced with ikea-bolts. Ive been using cermic paste on everything as anti-seize so Ill put some of that on them too. Can I use a rubber mallet to hit the impact driver?

That may not be hard enough. I just recently read you should use a ball-peen (ball pein?) hammer because the metal is different (don’t remember in which way) than a claw hammer and won’t tend to knock the chrome off the butt if the impact driver handle. Don’t know if it’s true. Seems legit.

What does JIS mean/ stand for ?
