Hi Muniac & Paco, Thanks for the reply guys. Would the dealership have a stainless steel bolt available or can I just go to Home Depot or Canadian tire? I found an almost identical bolt at my work but it wouldn`t go in, must be a different thread pattern issue. If it is a thread pattern issue, what do I specify if I go to Home Depot?

The female thread in the frame may be stripped. Is the bolt you removed look like the threads are stripped?

Hi Glenn, The thread in the frame is still good. The bolt`s thread is stripped 1/3 of the way.

OEM thread spec is 6mm x 1 A SS version should be available in the specialty HW bins in any good HW store. Good luck.

Hi Muniac, I was able to buy the replacement bolt from Home depot.(6mm.x1) But only 3.5 mm of the bolt would go in. It seems the female thread is partially stripped. - - - krychek

Kry,glad I could be of help with the "vise grip method".I've used it many times.Also,get yourself a quality set of "easy outs".I've never understood why some use a dremel kit to create a slot in failed fasteners,when an "easy out" is so simplistic.I digress.BTW,make sure that new bolt you bought has the same thread depth on it,I had to pass on a number of bolts the local hardware store provided me because although the bolt was the correct size....the treads did not extend all the way down the bolt,therefore when it goes in past the thread depth it just rotates...comprendes?lol.Ok,regarding the z1-I've never done it,I should take it off my profile.I was going to do it,but,decided against.Generally with more air out,you need more air in.Some need jet changes,snorkel removal etc...after the z1.Some need no further modification.Elevation seems to be a determining factor.If you do it I suggest removing the muffler in order to shake the shavings(and circular piece)out.It negates having to "fish"them out with a magnet.Some get lucky and the circular piece comes out on the end of the hole saw.I think the minute to take the muffler system off would be well worth the hastle.In conclusion,examine both bolts,check for the thread depth!regards-silent.
go placidly amidst the noise and the haste and keep your throttle wide open.....iridium plug,homemade rack,velcro clock,promadd handguards,actionpack box on rack,AMSOIL convert.

Kry,be very careful when you go to a proper "case hardened" bolt.The OEM bolt is very soft,ensuring it will strip before the female hole will strip.I lubed my new bolt first,and,I am very carefull not to crossthread when reattaching the bash plate.I wonder if the former owner had trouble and replaced the bolt already...ergo,screwing up the female hole with a wrong fit...hmnnn.Good-luck,regards-silent.

Hey Silent, I`ll keep my OEM muffler for now. My bike is running ferfectly and reliably smooth at the moment.As regards to the bolt,I`ll try to get a new one form the dealership `cause the one I got from Home Depot isn`t working. I`ll let you know later.Thanks again for the info. - - -Krychek

Also,get yourself a quality set of "easy outs".I've never understood why some use a dremel kit to create a slot in failed fasteners,when an "easy out" is so simplistic. I was contacted by another member regarding this issue.. Since I was the one who recommended to use a Dremel Tool.. I have been using this technique to remove certain sized bolts since I was a little one, playing with model planes, cars and boats.. Also, before I opened my bicycle repair shop in 1988 I went to Barnett BicycleInstitute.. Where this exact same technique was taught as the first alternative to remove a difficult bolt.. EZ-Outs, Drill Outs, Screw Extractors, etc was the next option.. Last resort is to drill and re-thread.. One thing to keep in mind.. EZ-Outs, Drill Outs, Screw Extractors and Taps are made of " hardened tool steel" and very brittle.. If you should happen to break the tool while removing a bolt.. You will not be happy for a long time cause it will be very tough if not nearly impossible to remove a broken EZ-Out without the help of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) which I have never needed..
