Swingarm pinch bolt

Post by Intech »

Anyone know what size the pinch bolt is on the right side of the swingarm? Is it an M8?

That would be my guess since I’m fairly certain
it takes a 12MM socket.

Intech,

The pinch bolt is Index 33 here, right?

https://www.stadiumyamaha.com/oemparts/ ... 1/rear-arm

So the Part Number is 97012-08040-00.

The Yamaha Part Number Decoder says that digits 6 & 7 tell the diameter (08mm) and the next three digits are the length (040mm).

http://xs1100.com/help.php#q04

So, yep, the pinch bolt is 8mm in diameter. 8-)
Cheers,
Red

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.
Yeah, I ride motorcycles. I know why dogs put their heads out of the car windows.
Yeah, I fly hang gliders (3000 hrs.+). I know why the birds sing.

Talk about thread-jacking!

I need to order a heli-coil for someone else who broke theirs.

And NO. I am not back!
