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.

    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.

Hey guys, I somehow lost the bolt on the front fork pinching the front axle. I looked up the diagram and it doesnt tell the size of the bolt. I figure I can get the part at any hardware store if I knew what the bolt was. in the diagram, it is numbers 12, 13, 14, and 15. Thanks guys! and yes, this time I will loctite the bolt!<img src="http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=40488&stc=1" attachmentid="40488" alt="" id="vbattach_40488" class="previewthumb">

your picture is small, but #12 is the bolt and it's part# 01107-08508 so that would make it an M8 bolt by 50mm in length
 
awesome!!! thanks man!!! Is the hole threaded or is there a nut? the picture says theres a nut but just making sure
 
more than likely a nut......

now here is the trick to know the size of most of the bolts when looking at the parts fiche

part# 01107-08508

the part after the dash usually will give you the info you were looking at

the 08 in this case tells you it's a M8 bolt

the 50 tells us it's 50mm in length

the last digit we don't care about....

so you could see something like

part# 01107-03128

and that would be a M3 X 12mm bolt.....
 
FYI. The last digit, as stated you can mostly ignore, is what Suzuki calls a modifier. It can be either a number or letter and in the case of a bolt it can represent either it's colour (black, chrome, cad, etc) or possibly it's hardness. I saw a chart for it once but can't seem to find it right now. Anyone else seen it?

EDIT: Found it, anymore useless info you need? LOL

from what i can tell the part number is 02142-05125?

05 - M5
12 - 12mm length
5 - black

that applies to all suzuki bolts... the last number obviously varies depending on the finish...

3=ZINC OLIVE DRAB
5=BLACK
6=ZINC ,GOLD PASSERVATE
7=CHROME
B=BLACK
8=ZINC BZP

Yebbut; be sure what you're buying at the hardware store is a properly rated bolt for a fork leg and not for a farm gate.
