Kawasaki parts in Wellington?

Clutch lever just gave up on me, the bolt that holds the lever in has snapped at the thread

Where do i find a new or preferably 2nd hand one in the wellington area?

So an OEM bolt has broken, resulting in an inoperable clutch lever and you would prefer to replace it with a second-hand item?

Can't fault the logic, myself.

Nope oem part has broken due to me being a ruff cunt when I replaced the oem levers and bteaking the bolt n then I put bolt back in with 2 lines of thread left. Which workd sweet for couple weeks but now its given up

Apologies, I didn't realise there was bteaking involved. As you were.

If you're breaking shit like that...you shouldn't be working on your bike. Your life is in your hands...and butchering shit ain't healthy.

Jeez dude, if I had a dollar for every time I rode home from a trail ride with a seriously fukt bike I'd be almost as wealthy as you.

Sorry...I missed this one too. Fuck...you're even better than awesome! Cause changing levers is such a technical job. You shouldn't be allowed anything other than a plastic spoon you fucking mongol.

[sketch]

thanks, full story as follows

got home after work with my sweet new screen and levers,
ripped into it rip bang crash didnt realise bolt had a locknut under snapped that, doh,
put new lever in forced that into place breaking the clutch sensor switch in the process double doh
rangied it up to work untill i got round to getting a new bolt
bolt gave up in the mean time
now i need a bolt

sorry my mechanical skills arnt up to your never just had a crack at and wrecked something standards

Make up your fucking mind mate. And I don't believe I've made any mention of my mechanical skills. You have. I simply tried to do you a favor by saying you shouldn't be working on your bike. If you can't handle the truth and want to fuck your bike and/or yourself...no skin of my nose.

and be carefull calling an electrician cos i been one of them for 13 years too and i might end up having a crack at something at your place too

I'd prefer not to have my house burnt down or my dirty gruts sniffed thanks all the same.

you could make do with a normal bolt and a short length of tube to replicate that "Shoulder"

thanks bman iv been tinking along those lines to but by the time i put time and effort into finding the right length bolt with the right thread to go through the lil bit of thread in the bit it goes into and the right sized tube to make the sleeve i might just wait till tomorro and find the real deal. and anyway acording to some people rangying it up would leave by bike a death trap and could bring down humanity in its wake

Calling yourself an Electrician without simple tool sense to snap off a bolt and not being aware of a microswitch is simply a disgrace...

[Madness]

All I can say is thank fuck electrical cables come in different colours.

[Ocean1]

Yeah...but you know what you're doing!

I've broken more than my share of bolts mate.

You're a rangi homo hamfist mechanic, Crasher !!!
Also, you did a superb job on restoring the MX bikes ;)

If you buy one of those Honda 700 twin ugly thingies, you don't have a clutch lever to break.

I can have a looky to see if I have one.
But, it'll be 50c for the bolt from a shop anyway...

If I remember right (I never do) it'll be an 8mm shank thingy and an m6 thread?

Yep that sounds right and a 10mm bolt head on top. Boyles quoted $5.54 but 3 weeks from japan

What model Ninja 250 have you got?
Most basic Kawasakis run the same lever perch.

Have you contacted buckets and bits as was suggested? You would have one on the way home tonight.

Or hey if you're going the bodgie route, might as well just string it up with cable ties.

Guy at boyles seemed to think not so. But sed kawasaki parts are a nightmare to cross reference. Its a 2008 ninja 250r ex250j

The place in jville told me to fuck off.......... thanks for your help I sed.......

Yep just been there. No1 home. Sent him an email It's Sunday, a day of rest

Went up on the off chance sum1 was floating round with a clutch lever bolt in his hand thinking to himself hmmmmmm where shud I put this.....

no there not,

that bolt fits all the Ninja 250R's from 08 on, and the new Ninja 300's as well,

the genuine one is ex japan, but i would be suprised if you could not find an aftermarket lever perch bolt that would do the job, even if it was till the genuine one turned up,

:rolleyes: He means he can't be fucked or doesn't know how

Part number 92154-0066 and yes it's M6
Find a bit of tube, cut the tube, put an m6 bolt it it, save $ and time.
Should be the same as GPX250s, ZZRs etc etc most use the same perch and run a lock nut underneath

it does not cross reference back to those models, but i doubt its that much different,

Your reputation precedes you?

[Drew]

Nearly as good as a Katman thread, this.

Anyhoo, nearly every bike workshop will have a couple lying around that will fit. Fuck, I've prolly got three or four in my shed.

How the fuck did you snap the thing? Jesus man, how tight do you think it could be done up in a cast aluminium perch? Yer lucky that didn't snap instead, would have put my money on that being the weakest link in the equation, rather than the bolt.

[nodrog]

.... would have put my money on that being the weakest link in the equation.....

I think the weakest bit was the soft material between his ears.

But be careful, hes a Ninja.

[Drew]

But be careful, hes a Ninja.And in my neck of the woods!

[ducatilover]

it does not cross reference back to those models, but i doubt its that much different, They'll likely have a different length shank, which is easy enough to sort.


Oh holy crap thanks ducatilover thats awesome a part number to go on. And yep thatl do for a mean time fix. Iv even still got the locknut

Got the old one lying about to measure the length? I'll have a look soon

[nudemetalz]

I've found that if you put a locknut on with a lock-washer, there ain't no way that will come undone if it's tightened correctly.

I'm not a fan of loctite, that stuff can be a pain in the arse.
Oops, that infers that I use it rectally.... :nono:

[sketch]

All sorted. Thanks boyles. Even had a lazy clutch switch lying round

[quallman1234]

You could of just brought a standard replacement clutch lever and perch for ~20$ from TSS or Boyles, they fit most things. I find boyles really good. Mainly a service/parts shop.

And yes your a retard for pushing so hard on a spanner that you broke a bolt without realising there was a locknut underneath.

Nevermind you got it sorted.

Everybody makes mistakes. I've made my fair share, yet I get hired to fuck with Rally cars.
Good old KB, bash a guy for breaking a bolt. He probably won't do it again. Probably won't ask you wankers for help either.

[The Reibz]

Alot of pro armchair mechanics on here that obviously haven't broken a bolt or had one seize up before. Pretty sure there are a shitload of cunts on here that don't even ride anymore either.
Flame a guy when he asks for help, wasn't exactly a TTY high tensile steel bolt, small bolts like this break all the time especially around the exhaust manifold. Lost count how many I have had to weld back in place for people.

End yourselves

[bogan]

Better get an electrician to come and fit that one eh :bleh:

P/T, we've all done some dumb shit I'm sure (I too owned a kawasaki once), just learn from it, and in future don't put as much torque on a wee bike bolt as you would on the bigger car bolts you're used to.

[imdying]

Alot of pro armchair mechanics on here that obviously haven't broken a bolt or had one seize up before.Yup, they should give a Chinese mini moto a go... lots of potential for raping fasteners right there.

[sketch]

All sorted. Pop the new switch and bolt back in after work. For my next thread I think il invent my own kb wave...........
