Cam cover bolts question

[Alan H]

Just wondering if these are the same on the Bandit 1200 and GSX 1400 engines.
Cheers, Alan.

I for sure hope so... Recently bought a set of stainless steel b12 ones to replace mines.

Hi,
Fairly sure they are but give Just Bandits a call and Julian will be able to confirm

Yes they are the same

I fitted a set off for Bandit 12. Cost about £14 of eBay. There was a link off the old forum. Load of us bought a set. Little cheaper too...

[Alan H]

Magic. Thanks very glad for the replies.
Looks like THESE (clicky) are good value then.
I'll get some ordered to swap for the skaggy ones on my 'new' 14.

Them's the ones and top value as well 

Be gentle taking your old cam bolts out though, as you'll need to re-use the rubber seals off the originals

[Basil Brush]

Hmmm. They are nice. Mine were stainless.

good tip andre

Make sure the threads & hole is clean when you put them in. Helicoiling the cam journal is a pain when you shouldn't have needed to do it & the metal is damn soft.

They are M7 threads if/when you need to do it btw.

[Basil Brush]

If I remember right. Two are impossible to get a torque wrench in. Due to frame rails.

Unless lump is out on a bench. So be careful.

[Andre]

No problems to get the torque wrench in when I did mine. Guess it might depend on the size of the wrench and/or what you take off (took everything off as per service manual to take off head cover).

[Alan H]

Typical - sold out and getting more 'in a couple of weeks.
Bet this turns into a saga, I'm dead lucky like that.

check the part numbers on Robinsons web site.
