Inbred Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I have managed to strip the thread on one of my sprocket carrier studs. I was using a torque wrench but the thread has still stripped. I have approached Suzuki for a replacement but they only supply them as a whole sprocket carrier assembly (approximately £140 ). The studs can be extracted (I want to change them all in case my torque wrench needs calibrating) I just don't know where to go for replacements seeing as Suzuki won't supply them. Any help is gratefully appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the fat stig Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 i could well be wrong but , could you go to a supplier of nuts , bolts ect . i'm sure they could get high tensile steel studs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwakbiker Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Think the only option would be a used one from a breakers/ebay, if suzook say they only sell as a whole i cant see you having much luck other than going to a fastener supplier(which no doubt will be of better quality) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sennidott Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'm pretty sure ProBolt do replacement studs. Mr Tootall will be able to advise on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sev Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 What size studs are they, M8 or 10 if I remember correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inbred Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 They are M10 x 1.25p Its all sorted now, I sent a stud to Redcar Suzuki and they located 5 replacements (£15 inc p+p), a service above any beyond expectation especially as they to could have just said 'rear sprocket carrier £136 then mate'. In case anyone else plans to change the rear sprocket on their GSXR 600/750 K6/K7 the service manual advises the wrong torques spec. 93nm is incorrect ad the internet tells me that it should be 60nm as amended by service bulletin 150. Thanks to everyone for there help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
