Help!!!

(1/1)

machine:
I broke off the front stud that holds the small alum. plate on the forks that holds the front tire on. There is four studs per side, and I broke off one of the top ones. Dose anyone know if they're pressed in, or if they are left hand threded into the casting at the end of the fork???

Thanks for any help :roll:

Zee:
Hi Machine, try unscrewing the one next to it just to be sure. Mine were right hand threaded.

hughes:
Mine was right hand threads I used vise crips to remove the broken stud and then used a grade 5 bolt in it's place. Kawasaki doesn't offer a part number for the studs for my year bike.

machine:

machine:
All fixed now!
Thanks again guys!!!
