@spanners
Thank you for all of your welcome messages!
So over the last week or so l have been working through my bike.
What l have noticed how delicate some of the heads of bolts and screws are.
The cross heads on the fly wheel cover and bleed nipples on the break callipers.
How do you guys replace these? Some of the Yamaha replacement bolts are so much money.

@spanners Just buy a load of hex head stainless steel bolts m6 m8 varying lengths.

Be careful when tightening stainless into ally mind you.

An impact driver would be your friend when removing yammy bolts.

Welcome aboard. Throw some pictures up, we never get bored

@calum Thanks Calum!
A bunch of stainless steel bolts with a little covering of grease is what I’ve started to do.
And l definitely agree a impact driver maybe the only solution.
Or hacksaw and thin cutting disk......
I will post some up to date pictures when l get my new panels on, for sure.
Anyhow, back to the bodges!
This is my bike when l bought it!
