The screws holding the plastics on - SV650.org

under the seat....-I had to take my riders seat and pillion seat off to look for a lost nut, and now these screws won't go back in, turn and turn with no grip.

They don't look like they hold anything much apart from the plastics, can I just replace them or are they ultra important?

What exactly did the screws secure?

The bit under the front of the riders seat, just to hold the plastics on I think.

No! Bolts are not fully threaded. The correct term for them is actually Set Screws.

Set screws can be fully threaded too ?

the picture doesn't look like OEM screws.
If you can use anything just to hold on the plastic there's no other important job that they do
