Crankshaft pulley bolt:

Hiya folks,

I've got an '05 R50 I just did the crankshaft pulley on. When I had been reading up on the repair in advance, I thought it mentioned the bolt that holds the pulley on was a 17mm, but the one I removed had a 15mm head. I'm actually planning on taking another weekend soon to go in and change the crankshaft seal, and figured I'd get a new bolt (which you're supposed to really do anyway) in there while I was monkeying around.

Does anyone know what the bolt specifications are supposed to be? I'll go pick up the appropriate replacement if I can get the specs and be on my way.


Cheers and best wishes,

- Ald

Pics look more like a 15 mm head than 17 mm to me.

Thanks guys! Phew, the stock bolt is ten bucks - really? I mean, I know it's automotive grade but I didn't realize they were diamond tipped too...
