I was hoping they would show the bolt size in the parts fiche. But they don't. For what its worth. Here is the part number and fiche. If you plan on replacing the bolt with something after market. Someone more knowledgeable than I,can advise you as to grade and material.

Unless you absolutely have to have it stock, replace those bolts with studs and nuts. Use high-heat copper anti-seize on the studs when installing them. That's one of the first things I do to a bike when I buy it.

I don't know the thread diameter and pitch off-hand. Sorry.

It does show the size......the parts number is 01107-08458

So, it's 8mm X 45mm in length.

There ya' go! I forgot that about the size being imbedded in the part number for screws and bolts. Thanks for the reminder, Larry.

Thankyou. I did not know that. Useful info for the future.

You might consider downloading the 1000G parts book from Cliff's site. Not a bad thing to carry around with you. Its in with the Owners Manual

I use it all the time

Use copperslip when you put them in.

Just remember that 8mm bolts come in two different pitches. When sourcing hardware locally its a good rule of thumb to bring a sample bolt. iirc they are 8mmx1.25
