Dunnster 1,650 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Does anybody know what size/(pitch) thread the handlebar end screw is? M6 or M8 cap head? item 25 in the picture. I need 2 longer ones. Link to post
kayz1 2,928 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Mine on the 2016 750X were M6X1 but i can not remember how long they were 70mm comes to mind but you need to check further. Lyn. 2 Link to post
Guest bonekicker Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Do you mean the handle bar end weight? I also think it's M6--are you putting hand guards on? if so they come with there own fittings--the piece inside the bars will have to come out--then new one inserted--this as to be done--because the guards have slotted spacers on to stop guards from turning round.

Dunnster 1,650 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks folks Im fitting some muffs but with my hand guards still in place there’s not enough length in my bolt to go into the handlebars. Thought it would be M6 by part #25 being 6x65. Thanks again Link to post

embee 7,288 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) I think they're usually a countersunk head aren't they? What you replace it with depends on what surface it's going onto, flat or countersunk. Edited November 15, 2017 by embee 2 Link to post
larryblag 14,236 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The bar end weights on my 750S were always slightly loose. I tried tightening the screw but that had no effect. Left an alone in the end . Link to post

I tried tightening the screw but that had no effect. Left an alone in the end . That's because the long internal sleeve unit hasn't been staked into the hole provided in the side of the bar. Even when it is the whole assembly can be moved a little, which is how it's meant to operate. An elaborate system for sure but it works so that the mirrors stay vibration-less. 1 Link to post
