Fixing Screws for seat - SV650.org

Managed to lose one of the screws for my seat.

Does anyone know anywhere that would sell these?

I think they are M8 or M10, any bolt the same length will do as a quick replacement. A dealer would be able to supply you with one also, they have a lose bolt collection.

What year SV is it? The early ones are M6, but with a really big head. QUite unusual. Yuo could use any short M6 bolt and a washer though. Don't use a longer one, or it can damage the wires that run along the loom

M6 and 18mm long - God I am Sad!

As already mentioned any type of bolt will do, don't go to long and don't go to short though.

Yeah, the 18mm's too long really, it doesn't need to be any deeper than the seat plus subframe nut, which is probably about 10-12mm.
