Top yoke pinch bolts

Eyup

Noticed that the bolts that are in the top yokes are very short and engage in only half of the threaded part of the pinch clamps. This is poor engineering practise of that there is no doubt but is it normal for Yamaha? I now know these bikes are built in Italy which is never a good thing. I have owned itallian bikes in the past.

The bolts in the lower yokes are full length thread engagement. anyone care to have a look at theirs for me to confirm please?

Regards

Al
