I was just wondering about the two back bolts that you use to tighten the chain with. Where can I find them and what would i call them. I stripped one out so I figure i'll just buy some new ones

 

i replaced almost ever bolt on my 86 and some of them i found at auto parts stores or even hardware stores... they metric just in case you didnt know... good luck...


86 LT250R
fmf fatty
fmf silencer
fmf troque reeds
barnett racing clutch
wiseco piston and rings
+3 swing arm
and more just dont feel like listing them...

 

first place I would go is the hardware store.

 

If you can't find a metric stud the size you need, just get a standard that is slightly larger then the stock metric and tap the hole. A tap will only cost around $5. I had to do this on one of mine because the bearing carrier had stripped out.
Good Luck

 

appreciate the advice i guess off to the hardware store i go

 

Do you mean the studs that screw into the carrier? If so make sure their 9.9 hardness. I would try a Tool and Die shop. I go to a local Tool & Die shop for all my nuts & bolts. They have every nut/bolt size you could need plus drill bits, taps, and dies. All cheap too. I had a list of bolts needed to finish my LT, The chain tensioner studs too, and the local suzuki dealer said $26 but the tool & die shop said $2.35. Now what would you have done. When you go to a hardware store what they got is what you get but at a Tool & Die shop they will have about 5-6 different grades of the same bolt.
