What are these stock screws made out of aluminum? Every bolt is stripping
Like I'm at the club making it rain! I remember reading a post researching about a kit to replace every bolt for our bikes but I actually bought mine from the little dealer in Texas so it was already assembled. On the 2nd carb clean and I strip out the junk plastic throttle body spacer female threads just trying to tighten down the dang carb. I almost feel like epoxying the studds in

Never had problems with hex bolts, but do with Philips head screws.

The stock screws are made out of “I can’t believe it’s not butter “ ,
|
No problems on mine.

Also get yourself a hand impact driver for maintenance. Works great for both Phillips and JIS (if you have the right bits). |

An impact driver was one of the first tools I got to work on my used 1970s era Suzuki TS250 in 1976. It loosened, and then properly set the crankcase screws when I had to rebuild it. I didn't even replace the screws (what did I know!?), but it held together OK. It cost me $5, with four bits-2 flathead, two JIS/philips (no idea which). Essential tool :tup:
Attachment 31325 All six main bearings and seals on the ends of the crank, counter, and drive shafts, New second gear and counter shaft (fused together), full gasket kit, rebored cylinder (maybe 270cc) and new piston/rings. Oh, and an expansion chamber to replace the OEM muffler. Then I got the crash course in jetting. :hmm: That impact driver is still useful. |
