OMG! missing frame bolt

Post by krasmu »

I had just read the post of how to lower my foot pegs. Been trying find a way to do something about the leg position since buying my bike. I will be giving that a try this winter.
When I went out to look at my bike and visualize what I read I noticed just below the brake lever switch on the frame, there are TWO holes for bolts. One bolt is missing. I'm assuming that there should be two bolts installed as this seems to be a pretty high stress area of the frame assembly. Does anyone out there have the proper bolt size and I presume hardness required?

those bolts have a flanged 14mm head, 10mm thread body, 16mm thread length, a FINE thread pitch of 1.25mm, and should have a Commercial Steel Class rating of 10.9.

HI, was the remaining bolt also loose ? you may want to check the two bolts at the top of that frame section . They require a bit more work involved to get too. But its not that bad of a job. Gene Kap
