whilst i was pratting about last week trying to sort out a tail tidy ( and giving up !!) i managed to lose the lens retaining screw from an indicator : ( ,, anybody got a spare one lying about?? T I A

Digga

Why not remove the screw from the other indicator, take it to the hardware store and get another one, and get a spare one while you're at it

Good answer lol ...

Hardwear stores around here are next to useless ... oK if you want woodscrews or machine screws but anything specialised and you're 'screwed' ( excuse the pun ).

Methinks it may be a bead of clear silicon and an elastic band ...

it's �0.26 from any authorized Yamaha dealer that incl tax. Call them up!

I think that you will find a compatible screw at any good hardware store or a B&Q as the screws are only self tappers.

i reckon my mates taking his 'ten to Len Manchesters for its first service very soon - i'll get him to buy a couple : )

i knew that they wouldn't be expensive, just that we have no bike dealers that near us and the postage would more than triple the price ...

i don't believe its a normal self tap, looking at the others ,its more a fast helix thread..

It's a delta PT screw made in Germany by EJOT. Specified by most of the automotive lighting manufacturers in the world due to the AV properties of the threadform.

If your mate doesn't get you one from Yamaha, let me know and I will send you one. I would need a pic and the dimensions.

Al.

Neat..

UPDATE>>>

Due to business nearby, i went to Len Manchester ( Melton Mowbray) to get a screw ....

1) they had no stock
2) if they had of had stock they wanted ......

wait for it.....
