Suzuki bolts vs. standard metric bolts
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2018 9:51 am
Per the guys on the Suzuki GS forum:
Suzuki bolts with no markings were later marked with a “4” ==> Metric 4.6
Suzuki bolts marked with an “S” were later marked with a “7” ==> Metric 8.8
Bolt Depot has a good selection & sells individual bolts. https://www.boltdepot.com
McMaster also has a good selection but sells in quantities. https://www.mcmaster.com
Both charge shipping, and ship same day or next day.
McMaster has more JIS bolts & nuts. The zinc plated metric locks washers from Bolt Depot look nicer.
Recently bought crankcase bolts for both cafe builds.
Needed a few odd sizes that I got from Suzuki. Other than those bolts, is there any reason to get the more expensive Suzuki bolts?
