Fuel Tank Mounting Bolt
Anyone happen to know the size and thread pitch of the bolt that mounts the fuel tank to the frame (by the steering head)?
Mine seems to have gone missing after the ride Saturday; pulled the tank off so many times that I think I forgot to loctite it |

tank bolt
Its 6mm as previously noted. 1.0 thread pitch. Make sure you have a shouldered washer that fits thru tank, so you don't cause a leaking fuel tank. Something that will tighten up, but not compress the tank.. That was the original leaking point on my first 11' tank.

I would consider that bolt optional.

Fuel Tank Mounting Bolt
I use this one that I had on my CRF250X
It works great because it does not suck the gas tank down tight to the frame which does cause stress on the tank and then eventually leak. I put a bit of Blue Loc-Tite and mine and never had any problems loosing it. http://www.crfsonly.com/catalog/prod...oducts_id/3467 The red electrical tape is there to add just a bit more thickness to fit snug on the gas tank.

Anyway, thanks for the info on the size and pitch guys - much appreciated I think finding the washer will be the hardest part; that size bolt is in stock at the local Ace. |
