Materials

The replacement bolts are stainless steel. Their head appearance may differ from Honda’s original bolts. Material alone does not establish the required mechanical strength for every application; use each bolt only at its intended location.

When should you replace engine casing bolts?

• Corroded or marked heads: Inspect the bolts when carrying out cover maintenance.
• Damaged threads or drive recesses: Check the bolt and mating threads before refitting.
• Missing hardware: Restore the correct fixing arrangement before use.

New bolts cannot repair damaged casing threads, distorted covers or leaking seals.

Fitting information

Keep each bolt matched to its intended location. Follow Honda’s exact cover and pump procedures, including gasket or seal replacement, alignment, tightening order, torque and thread condition. Start bolts by hand and do not use them to pull a misaligned cover into place. Use anti-seize or other compounds only where appropriate to the specified procedure. Check disturbed assemblies for leaks and correct operation before riding; have uncertain engine or pump work checked by a qualified motorcycle technician.
