Moderator Airhead Posted February 22, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2016 These bolts are often m6 which will have a spanner size of 10mm, I don't know if the new lever comes with it fitted, cant you ask the seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted February 22, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2016 Seriously? The bolt can't fall out, the thread is in the lower section so the bolt head is topmost, with the spring of the lever split it is nigh impossible for it to come out let alone have the lever fall off. On a sub 2 year old bike someone has been pissing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos B Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 My 1989 SR125 has that bolt upside down too. 10mm head. Often thought it was daft, but the bike's had various other things changed before I got it so it might be off something else, or the lever broke off in the past and was welded back onto the spline end the wrong way round! Loctite anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
